<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-machine-id-commit</command> may
be used to write on disk any transient machine ID
mounted as a temporary file system in
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> at boot time. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about this file.</para>
<para>This tool will execute no operation if
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> doesn't contain any
valid machine ID, isn't mounted as an independent temporary
file system, of <filename>/etc</filename> is read-only. If
those conditions are met, it will then write current machine ID
to disk and unmount the transient
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file in a race-free
manner to ensure that this file is always valid for other
processes.</para>
<para>Note that the traditional way to initialize the machine
ID in <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is to use
<command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> by system
installer tools. You can also use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not
booted) system images.</para>
