specific to this unit type. See
|
|
<a href="systemd.unit.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.unit</span>(5)</span></a>
|
|
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.</p><p>Additional options are listed in
|

<a href="systemd.exec.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.exec</span>(5)</span></a>,

which define the execution environment the

or files they control. Example: the swap device
|
|
<code class="filename">/dev/sda5</code> must be configured in a

|
unit file <code class="filename">dev-sda5.swap</code>. For

details about the escaping logic used to convert a

dependencies on the devices or on the mount points

of the files they are activated from.</p><p>Swap units with

<code class="varname">DefaultDependencies=</code> enabled

implicitly acquire a conflicting dependency to

configuration in the latter takes precedence.</p><p>Unless the <code class="option">noauto</code> option is set

for them all swap units configured in
|

<code class="filename">/etc/fstab</code> are also added as
