Isolation allows the system to remain responsive in face of high I/O load\&. Which solutions are available for a device can be queried from the udev metadata attached to it\&. By default the naive solution is used, which provides the most bandwidth\&. +.SH "CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES AND PRECEDENCE" +.PP +The default configuration is set during compilation, so configuration is only needed when it is necessary to deviate from those defaults\&. Initially, the main configuration file in +/etc/systemd/ +contains commented out entries showing the defaults as a guide to the administrator\&. Local overrides can be created by editing this file or by creating drop\-ins, as described below\&. Using drop\-ins for local configuration is recommended over modifications to the main configuration file\&. +.PP +In addition to the "main" configuration file, drop\-in configuration snippets are read from +/usr/lib/systemd/*\&.conf\&.d/, +/usr/local/lib/systemd/*\&.conf\&.d/, and +/etc/systemd/*\&.conf\&.d/\&. Those drop\-ins have higher precedence and override the main configuration file\&. Files in the +*\&.conf\&.d/ +configuration subdirectories are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of in which of the subdirectories they reside\&. When multiple files specify the same option, for options which accept just a single value, the entry in the file sorted last takes precedence, and for options which accept a list of values, entries are collected as they occur in the sorted files\&. +.PP +When packages need to customize the configuration, they can install drop\-ins under +/usr/\&. Files in +/etc/ +are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the configuration files installed by vendor packages\&. Drop\-ins have to be used to override package drop\-ins, since the main configuration file has lower precedence\&. It is recommended to prefix all filenames in those subdirectories with a two\-digit number and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files\&. +.PP +To disable a configuration file supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to +/dev/null +in the configuration directory in +/etc/, with the same filename as the vendor configuration file\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +All options are configured in the [IOCost] section: +.PP +\fITargetSolution=\fR +.RS 4 +Chooses which I/O cost solution (identified by named string) should be used for the devices in this system\&.
