I'd like to know what the big vendors are thinking about this. Introducing risks due lazy/snooty systemd developers can not be a reason to ignore well-founded and common rules how to handle big severs.
Most of the 'lazy/snooty systemd developers' work for the biggest vendors. :)
Does this mean that IBM will enforce that /usr and other useful partitions will be only avaiable by using initramfs?
WHY? You don't need /usr on a separate partition anymore.
I'm aware that a separate /usr is only optional. Personal I do not use a separate /usr partition. Nevertheless I know customers using such /usr partition to minimize downtime due e.g. file system problems.
Wouldn't it be better to fix the real problem instead?
I was first exposed to UNIX in 1988. Back then the largest harddrives were not big enough to fit the whole operating system let alone user login info plus any user data. There was no choice but to split some directories off onto a separate drives (partitions).
Let's get our heads out of the sand and our asses and get with modern times.
Hmmm, I'm not speaking about my personal system setup. On my own privat system I've /, /var, /tmp, /boot, and /home on different partitions, that is / and /boot on a 64G SSD and the rest on a 1TB SATA III.
The only directories I see as being beneficial on a separate partition are the "tmp" directories which can fill a drive rather quickly if not watched.
Again, this is also you're personal setup just as my personal setup ... but IMHO we should like not to ignore other setups.
No, this is my personal opinion not how my system is setup. I only ever use three partitions /(xfs), /boot(ext2) and swap.
