The nohostonly "rescue" initramfs is, AFAIK is a Fedora specific thing and I'm not sure if the responsible upstream is the kernel team or dracut. And yes, I find the terminology confusing, and actually the duplicate use of the same term "rescue" for two different purposes in the bootloader menu I think wasn't well thought out in advance. There's the GRUB use of rescue which is single user mode. There's the systemd use of rescue(.target) which is also single user mode (in contrast to the even more rudimentary emergency.target) There's the kernel rpm/dracut use of rescue which is a nohostonly initramfs. Let's see what else uses rescue? btrfs rescue zero-log is a stretch... -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
