Well, I don't see a *reason* to WANT to have /usr on a separate |
| 21 |
partition. I see only THE reason that you have it there NOW. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Also, logically speaking, if the stated reason for not having / (or |
| 24 |
/boot) on separate LVM partitions is because it would require an init |
| 25 |
thingy, then why can't you simply add /usr to that reason? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Again, I'm asking for why you WANT it on a separate LVM partition, not |
| 28 |
why it is there now. |

The way I see it, if y ou cannot provide a rational answer to that |
| 31 |
question, then there is no reason for you to use this as a reason to |
| 32 |
abandon gentoo, only a reason to merge /usr into /... |
