So, what is the reason to create a separate /usr with openSUSE 12.2? Please educate me ;) Spreading the system over several hard disks, speeding filesystem access. And don't forget that FSCK is O(2) of the size of the FS or worse.
Very true, but still, checking a 5, 10, or 30GB partition is fast. I routinely fsck 500+GB partitions mounted via iSCSI from a SAN [not the fastest transport on the planet] and they complete in not that long. Doing an fsck on a local hard drive on a reasonably modern desktop or laptop is not much of an obstacle to larger filesystems.
