NAMEkernel-command-line − Kernel command line parameters

SYNOPSIS/proc/cmdline

DESCRIPTIONThe kernel, the programs running in the initrd and in the host system may be configured at boot via kernel command line arguments​. In addition, various systemd tools look at the EFI variable "SystemdOptions" (if available)​. Both sources are combined, but the kernel command line has higher priority​. Please note that the EFI variable is only used by systemd tools, and is ignored by the kernel and other user space tools, so it is not a replacement for the kernel command line​. For command line parameters understood by the kernel, please see kernel−parameters​.html[1] and bootparam(7)​. For command line parameters understood by the initrd, see dracut.cmdline(7), or the documentation of the specific initrd implementation of your installation​.

CORE OS COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTSsystemd​.unit=, rd​.systemd​.unit=, systemd​.dump_core, systemd​.early_core_pattern=, systemd​.crash_chvt, systemd​.crash_shell, systemd​.crash_reboot, systemd​.confirm_spawn, systemd​.service_watchdogs, systemd​.show_status, systemd​.status_unit_format=, systemd​.log_target=, systemd​.log_level=, systemd​.log_location=, systemd​.log_color, systemd​.default_standard_output=, systemd​.default_standard_error=, systemd​.setenv=, systemd​.machine_id=, systemd​.set_credential=, systemd​.import_credentials=, systemd​.reload_limit_interval_sec=, systemd​.reload_limit_burst= Parameters understood by the system and service manager to control system behavior​. For details, see systemd(1)​. systemd​.mask=, systemd​.wants=, systemd​.debug_shell Additional parameters understood by systemd-debug-generator(8), to mask or start specific units at boot, or invoke a debug shell on tty9​. systemd​.run=, systemd​.run_success_action=, systemd​.run_failure_action= Additional parameters understood by systemd-run-generator(8), to run a command line specified on the kernel command line as system service after booting up​. systemd​.early_core_pattern= During early boot, the generation of core dump files is disabled until a core dump handler (if any) takes over​. This parameter allows specifying an absolute path where core dump files should be stored until a handler is installed​. The path should be absolute and may contain specifiers, see core(5) for details​. systemd​.restore_state= This parameter is understood by several system tools to control whether or not they should restore system state from the previous boot​. For details, see systemd-backlight@.service(8) and systemd-rfkill.service(8)​. systemd​.volatile= This parameter controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode​. Takes a boolean argument, or the special value "state"​. If false (the default), normal boot mode is selected, the root directory and /var/ are mounted as specified on the kernel command line or /etc/fstab, or otherwise configured​. If true, full state−less boot mode is selected​. In this case the root directory is mounted as volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), and only /usr/ is mounted from the file system configured as root device, in read−only mode​. This enables fully state−less boots were the vendor−supplied OS is used as shipped, with only default configuration and no stored state in effect, as /etc/ and /var/ (as well as all other resources shipped in the root file system) are reset at boot and lost on shutdown​. If this setting is set to "state" the root file system is mounted read−only, however /var/ is mounted as a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), so that the system boots up with the normal configuration applied, but all state reset at boot and lost at shutdown​. If this setting is set to "overlay" the root file system is set up as "overlayfs" mount combining the read−only root directory with a writable "tmpfs", so that no modifications are made to disk, but the file system may be modified nonetheless with all changes being lost at reboot​. For details, see systemd-volatile-root.service(8) and systemd-fstab-generator(8)​. quiet Parameter understood by both the kernel and the system and service manager to control console log verbosity​. For details, see systemd(1)​. debug Parameter understood by both the kernel and the system and service manager to control console log verbosity​. For details, see systemd(1)​. −b, rd​.emergency, emergency, rd​.rescue, rescue, single, s, S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Parameters understood by the system and service manager, as compatibility and convenience options​.

For details, see systemd(1)​. fsck​.mode=, fsck​.repair= Parameters understood by the file system checker services​. For details, see systemd-fsck@.service(8)​. quotacheck​.mode= Parameter understood by the file quota checker service​. For details, see systemd-quotacheck.service(8)​. systemd​.journald​.forward_to_syslog=, systemd​.journald​.forward_to_kmsg=, systemd​.journald​.forward_to_console=, systemd​.journald​.forward_to_wall= Parameters understood by the journal service​. For details, see systemd-journald.service(8)​. vconsole​.keymap=, vconsole​.keymap_toggle=, vconsole​.font=, vconsole​.font_map=, vconsole​.font_unimap= Parameters understood by the virtual console setup logic​. For details, see vconsole.conf(5)​. udev​.log_level=, rd​.udev​.log_level=, udev​.children_max=, rd​.udev​.children_max=, udev​.exec_delay=, rd​.udev​.exec_delay=, udev​.event_timeout=, rd​.udev​.event_timeout=, udev​.timeout_signal=, rd​.udev​.timeout_signal=, udev​.blockdev_read_only, rd​.udev​.blockdev_read_only, net​.ifnames=, net​.naming−scheme= Parameters understood by the device event managing daemon​. For details, see systemd-udevd.service(8)​. plymouth​.enable= May be used to disable the Plymouth boot splash​. For details, see plymouth(8)​. luks=, rd​.luks=, luks​.crypttab=, rd​.luks​.crypttab=, luks​.name=, rd​.luks​.name=, luks​.uuid=, rd​.luks​.uuid=, luks​.options=, rd​.luks​.options=, luks​.key=, rd​.luks​.key= Configures the LUKS full−disk encryption logic at boot​. For details, see systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8)​. fstab=, rd​.fstab= Configures the /etc/fstab logic at boot​. For details, see systemd-fstab-generator(8)​. root=, rootfstype=, rootflags=, ro, rw Configures the root file system and its file system type and mount options, as well as whether it shall be mounted read−only or read−write initially​. For details, see systemd-fstab-generator(8)​. If root= is not set (or set to "gpt−auto") the automatic root partition discovery implemented by systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) will be in effect​. In this case rootfstype=, rootflags=, ro, rw will be interpreted by systemd−gpt−auto−generator​. mount​.usr=, mount​.usrfstype=, mount​.usrflags= Configures the /usr file system (if required) and its file system type and mount options​. For details, see systemd-fstab-generator(8)​. veritytab=, rd​.veritytab=, roothash=, systemd​.verity=, rd​.systemd​.verity=, systemd​.verity_root_data=, systemd​.verity_root_hash=, systemd​.verity​.root_options=, usrhash=, systemd​.verity_usr_data=, systemd​.verity_usr_hash=, systemd​.verity_usr_options= Configures the integrity protection root hash for the root and /usr file systems, and other related parameters​. For details, see systemd-veritysetup-generator(8)​. systemd​.getty_auto= Configures whether the serial−getty@​.service will run​. For details, see systemd-getty-generator(8)​. systemd​.gpt_auto=, rd​.systemd​.gpt_auto= Configures whether GPT based partition auto−discovery shall be attempted​. For details, see systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8)​. systemd​.default_timeout_start_sec= Overrides the default start job timeout DefaultTimeoutStartSec= at boot​. For details, see systemd-system.conf(5)​. systemd​.watchdog_device= Overrides the watchdog device path WatchdogDevice=​. For details, see systemd-system.conf(5)​. systemd​.watchdog_sec= Overrides the watchdog timeout settings otherwise configured with RuntimeWatchdog=, RebootWatchdog= and KExecWatchdogSec=​. Takes a time value (if no unit is specified, seconds is the implicitly assumed time unit) or the special strings "off" or "default"​. For details, see systemd-system.conf(5)​. systemd​.watchdog_pre_sec= Overrides the watchdog pre−timeout settings otherwise configured with RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=​. Takes a time value (if no unit is specified, seconds is the implicitly assumed time unit) or the special strings "off" or "default"​. For details, see systemd-system.conf(5)​. systemd​.watchdog_pretimeout_governor= Overrides the watchdog pre−timeout settings otherwise configured with RuntimeWatchdogPreGovernor=​. Takes a string value​. For details, see systemd-system.conf(5)​. systemd​.cpu_affinity= Overrides the CPU affinity mask for the service manager and the default for all child processes it forks​. This takes precedence over CPUAffinity=, see systemd-system.conf(5) for details​. modules_load=, rd​.modules_load= Load a specific kernel module early at boot​. For details, see systemd-modules-load.service(8)​. nameserver=, domain= Configures DNS server information and search domains, see systemd-resolved.service(8) for details​. resume=, resumeflags= Enables resume from hibernation using the specified device and mount options​. All fstab(5)−like paths are supported​. For details, see systemd-hibernate-resume-generator(8)​. systemd​.firstboot= Takes a boolean argument, defaults to on​. If off, systemd-firstboot.service(8) will not query the user for basic system settings, even if the system boots up for the first time and the relevant settings are not initialized yet​. Not to be confused with systemd​.condition−first−boot= (see below), which overrides the result of the ConditionFirstBoot= unit file condition, and thus controls more than just systemd−firstboot​.service behaviour​. systemd​.condition−needs−update= Takes a boolean argument​. If specified, overrides the result of ConditionNeedsUpdate= unit condition checks​. See systemd.unit(5) for details​. systemd​.condition−first−boot= Takes a boolean argument​. If specified, overrides the result of ConditionFirstBoot= unit condition checks​. See systemd.unit(5) for details​. Not to be confused with systemd​.firstboot= which only controls behaviour of the systemd−firstboot​.service system service but has no effect on the condition check (see above)​. systemd​.clock−usec= Takes a decimal, numeric timestamp in µs since January 1st 1970, 00:00am, to set the system clock to​. The system time is set to the specified timestamp early during boot​. It is not propagated to the hardware clock (RTC)​. systemd​.random−seed= Takes a base64 encoded random seed value to credit with full entropy to the kernel's random pool during early service manager initialization​. This option is useful in testing environments where delays due to random pool initialization in entropy starved virtual machines shall be avoided​. Note that if this option is used the seed is accessible to unprivileged programs from /proc/cmdline​. This option is hence a security risk when used outside of test systems, since the (possibly) only seed used for initialization of the kernel's entropy pool might be easily acquired by unprivileged programs​. It is recommended to pass 512 bytes of randomized data (as that matches the Linux kernel pool size), which may be generated with a command like the following: dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=1 status=none | base64 −w 0Again: do not use this option outside of testing environments, it's a security risk elsewhere, as secret key material derived from the entropy pool can possibly be reconstructed by unprivileged programs​. systemd​.hostname= Accepts a hostname to set during early boot​. If specified takes precedence over what is set in /etc/hostname​. Note that this does not bar later runtime changes to the hostname, it simply controls the initial hostname set during early boot​.

HISTORYsystemd 252 Kernel command−line arguments systemd​.unified_cgroup_hierarchy and systemd​.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller were deprecated​. Please switch to the unified cgroup hierarchy​.
