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