            Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once

194
            The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
 
195
            and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
 
196
            machine is booting up.  Time to take into consideration
 
197
            when changing this value is file system checks and quota
