just to clarify, that wasn't in anyway for you, or anyone in particular... |

"Provide a way of mounting /usr read-only and share it between multiple |
| 35 |
hosts to save maintenance and space." |

"There is no way to reliably bring up a modern system with an empty |
| 38 |
/usr, there are two alternatives to fix it: copy /usr back to the rootfs |
| 39 |
or use an initramfs which can hide the split-off from the system." |

"Historically /bin, /sbin, /lib had the purpose to contain the utilities |
| 42 |
to mount /usr. This role can now be taken by the initramfs. Because the |
| 43 |
initramfs knows, where to find the root partition (which includes /etc), |
| 44 |
it can parse /etc/fstab and other configuration files and mount /usr |
| 45 |
before it finally switches the root partition and executes |
| 46 |
/usr/bin/init. From this point on init mounts the remaining partitions |
| 47 |
in /etc/fstab and the system starts as usual." |
