I also ran openSuse 12.2 under systemd with / and /usr separate. I can't recall what I did so it was obviously not a big deal.
Anton,
That's because you didn't have to do anything. opensuse packagers update the initrd package to mount /usr prior to turning control over to the following boot sequence. Once that was in place, the packagers have assumed that /usr will be mounted prior to any systemd stuff running, so they have been moving binaries during boot off of / and to /usr.
A, you mean this http://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/08/03/mounting-usr-in-the-initrd/
Linda on the other hand apparently has her servers setup not to use initrd at all.
I recall one of Lennart's articles discusses using systemd without initrd.
Thus a configuration she has used for years is no longer supported. I don't know if systemd was involved in the decision for opensuse with split / and /usr to require initrd.
Apparently not. It may have been the 'last straw....' but the motivation was there and as has been pointed out elsewhere, many other non-Linux systems had already been though both that and the bin-merge. -- If you can read this, my cloaking device is on the blink. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
