While I'm fairly certain that it was in the LVM portion of the handbook |
| 21 |
(since that is what I was wanting to use), I really don't care what that |
| 22 |
link says. |

The fact is, when I installed this system, it was my very first gentoo |
| 25 |
system, and I am very methodical about these kinds of things, and there |
| 26 |
is absolutely no way on gods green earth that I would have opted for a |
| 27 |
separate /usr unless the instructions said to do it, whether as |
| 28 |
something that was mandatory, or maybe it only said it was preferred (to |
| 29 |
take advantage of the features of LVM)... |
