While waiting patiently for reply by any openSUSE developer, I did some research and found that the package filesystem[1] executes /usr/libexec/convertfs, which can be found in the package compat-usrmerge[2]. This script checks if /usr is a mount point and if not, defines a flag CP_HARDLINK="-l" for cp, which creates hard links instead of copying files. However, when making a copy of /bin, the script executes 'cp -ax -l', not 'cp -ax $CP_HARDLINK' as I would expect.
Yes, that is the bug. Not sure how it slipped though as I orginally tested the split /usr setup. Sorry for that :-( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
