红帽全球峰会22.7. Kickstart commands for system recovery
The Kickstart command in this section repairs an installed system.
22.7.1. rescue
The rescue Kickstart command is optional. It provides a shell environment with root privileges and a set of system management tools to repair the installation and to troubleshoot the issues like:
- Mount file systems as read-only
- Blocklist or add a driver provided on a driver disc
- Install or upgrade system packages
- Manage partitions
The Kickstart rescue mode is different from the rescue mode and emergency mode, which are provided as part of the systemd and service manager.
The rescue command does not modify the system on its own. It only sets up the rescue environment by mounting the system under /mnt/sysroot in a read-write mode. You can choose not to mount the system, or to mount it in read-only mode. Use this command only once.
- Syntax
rescue [--nomount|--romount]- Options
-
--nomountor--romount- Controls how the installed system is mounted in the rescue environment. By default, the installation program finds your system and mount it in read-write mode, telling you where it has performed this mount. You can optionally select to not mount anything (the--nomountoption) or mount in read-only mode (the--romountoption). Only one of these two options can be used.
