I wonder what these are, and I hope you will start a separate thread with that information. > So, does anybody still see reasons to continue supporting a standalone > /usr? Yes. We use that mode in _ALL_ servers. We keep it read-only except while applying security updates. This means it *never* gets hosed by crashes, and it is less vulnerable to accidental damage. / is also protected, using different strategies: it has to be read-write if you want to keep sane right now, so we have in / only /root, /boot, /etc, /bin and /sbin, plus mountpoints. These almost never change, so the filesystem is rarely modified. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
