I just don't remember seeing a use case why a separate /usr is beneficial.
No?
Go fetch those paper books you included with SuSE Professional not that long ago. A separate /usr was recommended there.
historical ;) - see below ;)
But then don't say "I don't remember". It is the history of your own company...
/usr is so tiny compared to the size of disks that I do not see that as an advantage *today*, Tiny? Where are you looking at?
bombadillo:/lib/systemd/system # df -h /other/main/usr /other/main/usr/src /other/main/usr/local Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb8 21G 13G 7.1G 65% /other/main/usr /dev/sdc6 10G 8.7G 1.4G 87% /other/main/usr/src /dev/sdc7 13G 3.2G 8.9G 27% /other/main/usr/local
Historically they are on separate partitions/disks was because when they developed Unix, they ran out of space on the small disks and just added more disks. It was to get around a size limitation on the machine they used to develop unix. (or something along those lines) All the other reasons for the separate partitions was just spin to justify it and unfortunately they didnt change it when the disks got bigger. Fedora is now being sensible about the directory structures.. i personally on have 3, swap, root and home.
