8 | Check out the email from William Kenworth in this mailing list; he's having |
9 | trouble with initramfs being a blackbox. |

11 | As a (mostly) server guy, I much prefer using a whitebox. |

13 | I happen to have /usr on a VHD, so I don't need an initramfs for booting |
14 | (that, plus my production servers are all udev-less). If push comes to |
15 | shove, what I'll do is create a vestigial /usr in the root partition, and |
16 | have it overlaid by mounting the actual root over it. Synchronizing can be |
17 | automated by bindmounting root, after which I can access its (vestigial) |
18 | usr directory. |
