Except that systemd *is* why a seperate /usr is broken now. |
| 8 |
Parts of the libraries that systemd depend on we *deliberately* placed |
| 9 |
in /usr despite the fact that they are needed to bbring the system to an |
| 10 |
operational state. For *years* things required to boot the system were |
| 11 |
defined to be in the root file system, and items not required until |
| 12 |
after mounting had been accomplished were to be placed in /usr. |

BTW: There is a standard (The File System Hierarch Standard - FSS) that |
| 15 |
existed and described this behaviour. It was killed off by deliberate |
| 16 |
vendor refusals to support or adhere to it. In frustration, the folks |
| 17 |
involved simply gave up. |
