+.SH "NAME"
+systemd-machine-id-commit.service \- Commit a transient machine ID to disk
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+systemd\-machine\-id\-commit\&.service
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+systemd\-machine\-id\-commit\&.service
+is an early boot service responsible for committing transient
+/etc/machine\-id
+files to a writable disk file system\&. See
+\fBmachine-id\fR(5)
+for more information about machine IDs\&.
+.PP
+This service is started after
+local\-fs\&.target
+in case
+/etc/machine\-id
+is a mount point of its own (usually from a memory file system such as
+"tmpfs") and /etc is writable\&. The service will invoke
+\fBsystemd\-machine\-id\-setup \-\-commit\fR, which writes the current transient machine ID to disk and unmount the
+/etc/machine\-id
+file in a race\-free manner to ensure that file is always valid and accessible for other processes\&. See
+\fBsystemd-machine-id-setup\fR(1)
+for details\&.
+.PP
+The main use case of this service are systems where
+/etc/machine\-id
+is read\-only and initially not initialized\&. In this case, the system manager will generate a transient machine ID file on a memory file system, and mount it over
+/etc/machine\-id, during the early boot phase\&. This service is then invoked in a later boot phase, as soon as
+/etc/
+has been remounted writable and the ID may thus be committed to disk to make it permanent\&.
