+systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root \- Make the root file system volatile
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+systemd\-volatile\-root\&.service
+.PP
+/usr/lib/systemd/systemd\-volatile\-root
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+systemd\-volatile\-root\&.service
+is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the original (non\-volatile)
+/usr/
+inside it read\-only\&. This way, vendor data from
+/usr/
+is available as usual, but all configuration data in
+/etc/, all state data in
+/var/
+and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown, enabling fully stateless systems\&.
+.PP
+This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying
+"systemd\&.volatile=yes"
+on the kernel command line\&. This service runs only in the initrd, before the system transitions to the host\*(Aqs root directory\&. Note that this service is not used if
+"systemd\&.volatile=state"
+is used, as in that mode the root directory is non\-volatile\&.
