Having /usr, /var, /opt and /tmp on different partitions / disks is basically a standard setup for lots of real-world corporate installations.
The people who break such standard setups (or even think about breaking them) all the time should just get a reality check...
/usr not on the rootfs is broken since ages for anything that isn't a simple server. It does not make any sense to do that, and that's why nobody really cares.
Many things plugging into udev/hotplug break if /usr is not available at early boot. I stopped asking people to fix such things.
Unfortunately an all too common attitude in Linuxland. Anyway, can we then just be honest and officially abandon the now arbitrary /bin /sbin -- /usr/bin /usr/sbin separation by moving stuff and symlinking /bin and /sbin to /usr? It's nothing uncommon, Solaris/OpenSolaris, HP-UX, and AIX for example all don't have a separate /bin any more. It would certainly ease the pain with linking libraries which are in /usr. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
