It is a red herring. |

I currently use an initramfs, but that is because I decided to put "/" on |
| 20 |
LVM as well. |
| 21 |
When I had "/" as a normal partition and /usr on LVM, there were no issues |
| 22 |
with booting. Currently, with the initramfs, I get errors about / and /usr |
| 23 |
not being able to umount during shutdown. |
