I'd like to apologize for this response. Hearing use cases is always welcome, especially when they are given in the spirit of being helpful rather than defensiveness. > As far as I can tell, it is not especially > unsensible to use separate partitions for /usr, /etc, /var, /boot, and > /opt. It occured to me too late that it might sound like I am saying a /etc partition separate from / can work. By "separate" I only meant "distinct" (i.e., the /usr, /etc, /var, etc inodes all coming from different mounts). I also think I misunderstood your message. What kind of unification are you advocating? Fedora's setup, for example, allows /usr to be a separate filesystem.
