[systemd-devel] Question about the systemd slice hierarchy

[Matthew Chae]

Hello everyone,

I have some questions about "Example 1. Enabling and disabling controllers" from the slice-related man page linked below.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.resource-control.html#

First, under system.slice, there is a slice named b.slice. Is this possible?
Shouldn't it be named system-b.slice instead?

Second, under user.slice, there's a user at 1000.service, and under that, there are app.slice and session.slice.
Can a slice like app.slice exist under a service unit like user at 1000.service?
If that's possible, what would be a use case for this kind of structure?


Thanks,
Matthew
