claims to need 400GB in root?! Talk about a broken model to be following!

You still need 400GB be it on two partitions or on one partition. Why exactly one is more broken than two?

For example just to have more admin-comfort from within the running system in case you need to umount it. - fsck - switching file system - shrinking file system

You still need to have plan B for your root ...

BTW what about having /usr read-only or mounted via NFS? Is this still possible?

Without initrd? Probably not. I am not sure whether /usr on NFS is realistically possible without initrd at all. But in all my Linux deployments I had to use initrd anyway even for the reason of loading drivers to access root device. And no, recompiling kernel was never an option. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
