I've used a separate /usr on every system I've ever built on Gentoo, and |
| 32 |
some have filesystems going back years. Never once have I had any issues |
| 33 |
with separate / and /usr, and none of them use an initramfs. Our own |
| 34 |
security guide has made this recommendation for as long as I can remember |
| 35 |
(so one can mark /usr as read-only on production setups, for example). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
As far as initramfs, is this something that would need to go into the |
| 38 |
kernel? I hand-build all of my kernels, so any such initramfs package might |
| 39 |
be better off as a standalone package available on the FS at kernel build |
| 40 |
time. I also netboot some of my systems, and they have limits on the total |
| 41 |
size of the kernel image (7.2MB on one, ~40MB on another, etc), hence the |
| 42 |
need to keep this small or find another way to do things. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Are there possibilities about breaking off just a small piece of openrc and |
| 45 |
putting that into /run (or /boot)? Enough of the core scripts so that it |
| 46 |
can find /usr and mount it before continuing? |
