&gt; &gt; Well, for one, the initramfs solution is not generally considered &quot;ugly&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt; except by a select vocal few who object to it on vague, unarticulated<br>
&gt; &gt; grounds.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Check out the email from William Kenworth in this mailing list; he&#39;s having trouble with initramfs being a blackbox.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As a (mostly) server guy, I much prefer using a whitebox.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I happen to have /usr on a VHD, so I don&#39;t need an initramfs for booting (that, plus my production servers are all udev-less). If push comes to shove, what I&#39;ll do is create a vestigial /usr in the root partition, and have it overlaid by mounting the actual root over it. </p>

<p>That should be: &quot;mounting the actual /usr over it.&quot;</p>
<p>Rgds,<br>
