Hi,

Excerpts from Christian Heinz's message of Tue Dec 07 02:44:19 +0100 2010:

What is the benefit of "falling partially" over "falling completely".
I'm wondering if there shouldn't be check if dracut is run by non-root
and then exit immediately.  Normal user cannot read some files (e.g.
/bin/mount), so what's the point?
