This file configures the behavior of systemd-pstore(8), a tool
for archiving the contents of the persistent storage filesystem,
pstore[1].
The default configuration is set during compilation, so
configuration is only needed when it is necessary to deviate from
those defaults. The main configuration file is loaded from one of
the listed directories in order of priority, only the first file
found is used: /etc/systemd/, /run/systemd/,
/usr/local/lib/systemd/ [2], /usr/lib/systemd/. The vendor
version of the file contains commented out entries showing the
defaults as a guide to the administrator. Local overrides can
also be created by creating drop-ins, as described below. The
main configuration file can also be edited for this purpose (or a
copy in /etc/ if it's shipped under /usr/), however using
drop-ins for local configuration is recommended over
modifications to the main configuration file.
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.
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. This also defines a
concept of drop-in priorities to allow OS vendors to ship
drop-ins within a specific range lower than the range used by
users. This should lower the risk of package drop-ins overriding
accidentally drop-ins defined by users. It is recommended to use
the range 10-40 for drop-ins in /usr/ and the range 60-90 for
drop-ins in /etc/ and /run/, to make sure that local and
transient drop-ins take priority over drop-ins shipped by the OS
vendor.
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.
All options are configured in the [PStore] section:
Storage=
Controls where to archive (i.e. copy) files from the pstore
filesystem. One of "none", "external", and "journal". When
"none", the tool exits without processing files in the pstore
filesystem. When "external" (the default), files are archived
into /var/lib/systemd/pstore/, and logged into the journal.
When "journal", pstore file contents are logged only in the
journal.
Added in version 243.
Unlink=
Controls whether or not files are removed from pstore after
processing. Takes a boolean value. When true, a pstore file
is removed from the pstore once it has been archived (either
to disk or into the journal). When false, processing of
pstore files occurs normally, but the files remain in the
pstore. The default is true in order to maintain the pstore
in a nearly empty state, so that the pstore has storage
available for the next kernel error event.
Added in version 243.
The defaults for all values are listed as comments in the
template /etc/systemd/pstore.conf file that is installed by
default.

be available at all times. If /usr/local/ is a separate
partition, it may not be available during early boot, and
must not be used for configuration.
