It is my understanding that /usr does *not* need to be on /, only that |
| 12 |
if you do, you will need an initramfs. Look at |
| 13 |
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/72275 and the thread |
| 14 |
that followed it. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
After reading that, and other similar threads, I still don't |
| 17 |
understand the benefits of a separated /usr. Mounting it read-only |
| 18 |
seems the only sensible one, and then I think is better to go all the |
| 19 |
way and mount / read-only. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
But that's just me: anyway, anyone will be able to keep /usr in |
| 22 |
another partition if so they desire it. They will only need to use an |
| 23 |
initramfs. |
