- JdeBP 11y agoYou mentioned booting into rescue mode. Rescue mode is not emergency mode. Have a nearly two decades old explanation that still holds true for systems like nosh and systemd today: > If you need to check the root file system, you can reboot into single-user mode with the root partition mounted read-only by issuing the -b switch at the LILO prompt. The -b switch will be passed through LILO to init and will cause an emergency boot ... -- David A. Bandel (1997-01-01). Disk Maintenance under Linux.

- kbenson 11y agoThat points towards either Debian implementing systemd poorly in this aspect, Debian poorly documenting well how to accomplish this after the change, or a failure on the user's part to find said documentation. Systemd on Fedora supports this perfectly fine, so I can't really call this a failure of systemd itself.
