Sorry, I didn't express that very well. I know that people do partition / and /usr separately; what I was going to say and then didn't is that the *error* case is extremely unusual. In other words, if you can mount /, you're probably going to be able to mount /usr, because it's generally on the same disk. What's extremely unusual is a local / and a network-mounted /usr, or other sorts of split situations where it's at all likely that mounting / would succeed but mounting /usr would fail. The question, though, is can we express this requirement properly? We do need to make sure that /usr is mounted before ssh is started, but we don't really want to wait for mounting all the random other file systems that someone might have. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
