        <pre>/ can obviously not be unmounted while you are booted from it: all your
binaries keep it busy. THis has been this way since about forever, and there's
no way around it.

Note following what really the issue is here?

If you are in the emergency prompt in the initrd, then the future root is
mounted to /sysroot, and you can unmount it there and then fsck the root device
as you like.

If you are in the emergency prompt on the host, then I'd recommend rebooting
and entering the emergency mode in the initrd, so that you don#t keep the
device busy.

ANyway, really not getting what the issue is supposed to be here... Care to
elaborate?</pre>
