Why don't we support it? Upstream systemd should support no-initrd system, no?

This decision was done to be able to check the root file system before it becomes mounted (SLES11 AFAICR). That is that modern file systems should not be mounted even if done readonly during preforming a file system check. This was e.g. claimed Theodore Ts'o. Beside this the initrd allows to mount possible separate /usr, /var, ... partitions before systemd is accessing the final file system layout. The first point has nothing todo with the systemd upstream support of initrd-less. The later point is that systemd upstream does not support separate partitions like a /usr -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
