7 Sorry, I should have been more clear here. Mounting /var doesn't fill up
8 the root partition, but if you don't want to use the initramfs, this
9 means that /var must also exist on the root partition, which can create
10 more of a concern for filling the root partition than putting /usr on
11 the root partition creates.
