There's worse. http://jasonwryan.com/blog/2013/06/15/asking/ “ingenuity of the ways people had managed to break their installs”. I don't get why people find the traditional filesystem so complicated. It might just be a little messy at times. Also, does anybody here still care about /usr? I would understand if you want a simple hack to be able to mount anything but the bare bones to bring the system up, using a networked filesystem… until you have good union mount support in a mainline kernel. For most users though, no good reason for it. Overlayfs might be in Linux 3.10. Does anybody care about the /bin /sbin distinction either? I don't have the heart to rebuild **and maintain** a whole dynamically linked (esp. if Glibc), chock-full of dependencies, Linux distro for low-memory Geode LX-sporting diskless workstations, nor do I want to use LTSP. While I'm at it, I was going to clean up the filesystem. Any gripes with current practice in particular here? It's currently usable if you consider just busybox, no init (well, a script at /init), a near bare-bones kernel, and no getty usable.
