| 6 | This is very common. The advantage is that a process filling up the /var |
| 7 | directory (which is bad) will not fill the root partition (which would be |
| 8 | worse). |

| 10 | But this might change - the upcoming change in udev might require either |
| 11 | an initramfs, or /usr being on the root partition. And I read that the |
| 12 | same might be true for /var. |
