Bug Description

run-init dies when there is a stray mount in a subdirectory. In general, the nuke_dir code is not properly recursive, and there are checks done on the top level directory that are not done in subdirectories.

It looks recursive enough to me, was there something in particular on your mind here?

It falls over if you mount something in a subdirectory, something like:

- boot with break=bottom
- in the rescue shell, do mkdir foo; mkdir foo/bar; mount -t tmpfs tmpfs foo/bar ; exit

should make it fall over.
