Using software RAID and LVM does not require an initramfs. Debian has supported booting from md RAID without using an initramfs for a very long time. GRUB2 can boot from LVM or a separate /boot, but in any case risk-averse people might choose to avoid root-on-LVM; this is one of the reasons for putting /usr on a separate filesystem in the first place. The system I'm sending this email from would fail to boot if separate /usr without initramfs stops being supported. If Debian doesn't want to continue doing the work to support that configuration, fair enough; I'll change. But I'd like to correct the impression that such systems don't exist. -M- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
