For desktops i've never seen much purpose of having /usr on its own |
| 21 |
partition (or more than the usual 3 of /boot,/,swap tbh), but for |
| 22 |
servers I have seen a lot of configurations over the years that put /usr |
| 23 |
on its own partition. Exherbo aside, I would expect that Gentoo would |
| 24 |
(continue to?) support doing this. |
| 25 |

| 26 |
As per the documentation itself, Code Listing 2.1 is i believe an |
| 27 |
example of what is possible, not what we are encouraging users to do. |
| 28 |
That doc seems pretty clear that the default is partitioning scheme is |
| 29 |
the default /boot,/,swap ... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
And just to confirm, doesn't udev's installation (which is primarily in |
| 32 |
/lib) support /usr on a separate partition now, without an initramfs? |
