OpenRC AFAIK. |

You need an initramfs and a separate /usr to experience this problem. You |
| 27 |
have neither so you have avoided it twice, well done :-) |

On systems where I have both, I also have a filesystem that does not use |
| 30 |
fsck, which is a third way of avoiding the issue. |

And the kernel mounts it ro, openrc remounts/ rw later on. It seems the |
| 35 |
problem here is the initramfs mounting /usr rw before the attemt to run |
| 36 |
fsck. If I felt like finger-pointing, I'd be tempted to point at the |
| 37 |
initramfs. |
