[systemd-devel] /usr on separate file system

Hi,

| But it's a promise you are making there that you cannot keep. If you
| want to support /usr on a separate partition then you'd need to do all
| the work and move the PCI and USB databases to /, move libatasmart,
| fix udisks, fix D-Bus and so on.

I leave that to those who care about a separate /usr.  Personally, I'd
rather see the whole thing replace by a symlink to /. :-)

| The least you should do is add a warning about this to your release
| notes. 

I'll forward that to the people responsible for the release notes.

| The fact that most these things fail relatively gracefully should not
| mislead you to believe that everything worked fine. Things still fail,
| just not in a big gigantic atomic explosion scenario.

Would it work better if /usr was an automounted target?

Cheers,
