Hello all,
I recently installed systemd-18-1.2.4 and systemd-sysvinit-18-1.2.4 on Tumbleweed. However, during the reboot the system stalled.
My system setup always has /usr in a separate partition. Is this the reason for the system stalling during the reboot?
I could not recover. Is there a way to recover from this?
Cheers!

yeap if you have followed the systemd thread separate /usr is not the best way to get it working actually. last time I fail with systemd I've booted with 1 at the end of the line, remove systemd then add sysv-init from local rpm But didn't know all the details, sorry
I wish I hadn't missed that thread. I didn’t know about adding the number "1" at the end of the kernel options line in Grub workaround. Good to know :-)
However, it's a good thing to remember when I'm on forums.opensuse.org.
Coming from SysV, I'm sure we're not the only ones using a separate /usr partition.
And, I'm wondering if it's a limitation, or temporary bug ;-)
systemd does not support a separate /usr partition. This was a decision of the devs - according to them there are lots of weird corner cases with /usr on a separate partition and you shouldn't want it.
See: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
Jos, openSUSE may or may not support a separate /usr which systemd rolls from what I understand. It depends if it is decided to move enough logic in initrd to allow /usr to be mounted early in the boot process. I for one believe openSUSE should support it as much as feasible. There are too many machines out there with them being separate. I know I have at least 4 servers I setup about 10 years ago (8.1 days) which I've just been upgrading. They all have separate /usr. Having 12.1 break on those machines would be a real concern for me as a opensuse user.
