>I'm thinking of separating /usr onto its own partition so that I can have it mounted read-only except while updating it. I'd prefer not to have to make an init thingy, not having needed one up to now. Besides, some machines have things like early-ucode or amd-uc. |

Everything necessary to boot the system and mount drives is supposed to be in /etc /lib* and /sbin So a separate /usr is theoretically just a matter of putting your /usr device into fstab. |

If something you need for booting with separate /usr is missing that would be a FSH bug and is probably worth reporting unless you're doing something truly arcane with your system. |
