Thing is it runs before the real init[1] so if we are using a separate /usr |
| 11 |
partition on LVM, will it still work? I'd have thought not, since we need |
| 12 |
the device-mapper service and there's /etc/lvm.conf to consider, but I'll |
| 13 |
gladly be told different. |

(/usr on lvm was the example given in the Council discussion, and has been |
| 16 |
mentioned in docs, but I'd imagine same applies to /usr on mdadm, if not |
| 17 |
auto-detected.) |
