It's automatic. I have it like that.
Ah, sorry, let me rephrase.
If you install with a separate /usr its all taken care of automatically.
However if you have /usr on the ROOTFS and want to create a new partition and migrate /usr to that then you'll need to create a new initrd that knows about this.
If you run "mkinitrd" it should do it. However, you have to do it after migration and before booting.
And possibly the best way to migrate /usr -- should one use 'cp', mv', 'cpio' or 'rsync' ?
I use 'mc' or 'rsync', with some parameters that I don't remember by memory. Probably these: rsync --archive --acls --xattrs --hard-links --stats \ --human-readable ORIGEN/ DESTINO And it has to be done from a live. Basically, the procedure is: create new partition, mount it somewhere, copy usr there, rename old usr, edit fstab appropriately, run mkinitrd inside a chroot (with new usr mounted appropriately). Reboot. Once checked, delete old usr directory. AND, always keep a rescue USB stick available, in case there are problems booting, now or in the future: consider that in rescue mode, few applications and libraries will be available, fewer that some years ago. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
