The vn device is for mounting a file as a disk – so the initrd rescue volume can be created and formatted like a disk.

And yes, your update script should include ‘make rescue’. Your machine will update fine without it, and the rescue image will probably work most of the time from version to version, but it’s better to change ‘probably’ to ‘definitely’ when talking about rescue images.

2.) Does this mean that my update script should now also include `make rescue`?
