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