For example, joe does not work.

Which means that joe does not work in rescue mode when a partition failed to 
mount, which means
using vi (which also complains about some missing part). Now you say: learn vi. 
Ok, I know some vi;
just you try to use vi in a Spanish keyboard with a running default, ie, US, 
keyboard, Where is the
colon ":". And the exclamation mark "!"?

All this because a small error in fstab that you have to correct to boot.


Now, why use /usr at all. Me, because it supposed to work, and because it is a 
method to add space
to a filesystem. It is quite typical on some installations to have everything 
on its own partition.
