|
<para>A number of different components are involved in the
|
|
|
|
|
system boot. Immediately after power-up, the system
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS will do minimal hardware initialization, and hand
|
2012-07-15 16:41:40 +08:00
|
|
|
control over to a boot loader stored on a persistent
|
2012-06-23 05:14:19 +08:00
|
|
|
storage device. This boot loader will then invoke an
|
|
|
|
|
OS kernel from disk (or the network). In the Linux
|
|
|
|
|
case this kernel now (optionally) extracts and
|
|
|
|
|
executes an initial RAM disk image (initrd) such as
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>dracut</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
|
which looks for the root file system. After the root
|
|
|
|
|
file system is found and mounted the initrd hands over
|
|
|
|
|
control to the system manager (such as
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
|
|
|
|
stored on the OS image which is then responsible for
|
|
|
|
|
probing all remaining hardware, mounting all necessary
|
|
|
|
|
file systems and spawning all configured
|
|
|
|
|
services.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>On shutdown the system manager stops all
|
|
|
|
|
services, unmounts all file systems (detaching the
|
|
|
|
|
storage technologies backing them), and then
|
|
|
|
|
(optionally) jumps back into the initrd code which
|
|
|
|
|
unmounts/detaches the root file system and the storage
|
2012-06-26 05:00:38 +08:00
|
|
|
it resides on. As last step the system is powered down.</para>

<title>System Manager Bootup</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>At boot, the system manager on the OS image is
|
|
|
|
|
responsible for initializing the required file
|
|
|
|
|
systems, services and drivers that are necessary for
|
|
|
|
|
operation of the system. On
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
|
systems this process is split up in various discrete
|
|
|
|
|
steps which are exposed as target units. (See
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.target</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
|
for detailed information about target units.) The
|
|
|
|
|
boot-up process is highly parallelized so that the
|
|
|
|
|
order in which specific target units are reached is not
|
|
|
|
|
deterministic, but still adheres to a limited amount
|
|
|
|
|
of ordering structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>When systemd starts up the system it will
|
|
|
|
|
activate all units that are dependencies of
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>default.target</filename> (as well as
|
|
|
|
|
recursively all dependencies of these
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies). Usually
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>default.target</filename> is simply an alias
|
|
|
|
|
of <filename>graphical.target</filename> or
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>multi-user.target</filename> depending on
|
|
|
|
|
whether the system is configured for a graphical UI or
|
|
|
|
|
only for a text console. To enforce minimal ordering
|
|
|
|
|
between the units pulled in a number of well-known
|
|
|
|
|
target units are available, as listed on
|
|
|

<para>The following chart is a structural overview of

|
|

these well-known units and their position in the

|
|
|
boot-up logic. The arrows describe which units are
|
|
|
|
|
pulled in and ordered before which other units. Units

|

|

near the top are started before units nearer to the
