Just been paying attention to systemctl status’ branching structure. I realized I was making up stories to explain why it looked like that but had no clue of what it meant. I can’t find much info on slices.
My story is that they are sliced off into isolation. And add security from reading the wrong address… that they probably constantly use the same virtually sliced addys.
Can you give me some insight into what that illustration means from the OS perspective? Or your perspective…?
>Solution :
The hypothetical proposition “I want to make use of kernel cgroups, how do I do this in the new world order?” is used to explain how scope needs to be managed, and how slices play a role in this for systemd: The New Control Group Interfaces
It highlights the ability to define constraints to members of a slice that trump the predefined allowances granted the the member’s author. Kind of like a cool handcuff feature.
