That's a problem for the users, not the initramfs. The initramfs |
| 8 |
supports /usr, /var and anything else as noted. Having /var on / is a |

perfectly valid choice for certain situations. The problem of filling up |

/ is PEBKAC primarily, and can happen equally for / (think /root), /usr |
| 11 |
on /, /var on /. |
