How do you think I learned that sequence as being the best option?

I actually did, as I was not able to boot from rescue media anytime soon. It was a risk to do it by remote and if there had been a power failure in the middle of it, it could have ended in disaster. But I managed it.

That was the 2nd and last time I ever did that. Ever since I schedule in maintenance weekends for the few systems that are critical.
