As I said in my previous mail: emergency mounts the root filesystem |
| 18 |
read-only; rescue mounts all the filesystems read/write. If dracut cannot |
| 19 |
mount the root filesystem, it *WILL* drop you to a shell, but it will take |
| 20 |
some time while all the timeouts expire. This could be *several* minutes |
| 21 |
depending on hardware. |

The dracut mailing list is in [1]. |
