No problem for me. If I have to do it, I will. In fact I already use |
| 9 |
an initramfs for uvesafb and v86d [1]. I was simply answer you on WHY I |
| 10 |
want a separate /usr partition. |

This depend on your setup. Mine is basically like this : |
| 15 |
- /tmp and /var are still on the root partition. |
| 16 |
- everything else have their own partition, this includes : |
| 17 |
- official dirs : /usr /portage/trees /portage/distpack /home /opt |
| 18 |
- custom dirs : /data and raid arrays. |
| 19 |
|

For example, when running emerge -uDN world, /var is intensively used |
| 21 |
during compilation. If /usr is on a separate partition on another hard |
| 22 |
drive, launching multiple applications during the system update will |
| 23 |
necessarily be faster than if /usr is on /. |

Yes. |
