-
- <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
- <filename>.swap</filename> encodes information about a
- swap device or file for memory paging controlled and
- supervised by systemd.</para>
-
- <para>This man page lists the configuration options
- specific to this unit type. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for the common options of all unit configuration
- files. The common configuration items are configured
- in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The swap
- specific configuration options are configured in the
- [Swap] section.</para>
-
- <para>Swap units must be named after the devices
- (resp. files) they control. Example: the swap device
- <filename>/dev/sda5</filename> must be configured in a
- unit file <filename>dev-sda5.swap</filename>. For
- details about the escaping logic used to convert a
- file system path to a unit name see
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
-
- <para>All swap units automatically get the appropriate
- dependencies on the devices (resp. on the mount points
- of the files) they are actived from.</para>
-
- <para>Swap units with
- <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> enabled
- implicitly acquire a conflicting dependency to
- <filename>umount.target</filename> so that they are
- deactivated at shutdown.</para>

- <title><filename>fstab</filename></title>

- <para>Swap units may either be configured via unit

- for details).</para>
-
- <para>If a swap device or file is configured in both
- <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file the
- configuration in the latter takes precedence.</para>
-
- <para>Unless the <option>noauto</option> option is set
- for them all swap units configured in
- <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> are also added as

- <title>Options</title>
-
- <para>Swap files must include a [Swap] section, which

- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The

- device node, a dependency on the
- respective device unit is
- automatically created. (See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
