It was discussed on -dev so far. This is the subject line:
"Warn users not to do separate /usr partition without proper
initramfs in the handbook?"
I think it will apply to /var to at some point. I think it
sucks. I have /var on a separate partition and want to put /usr
on one to but not now.
Eh? That's fucking braindead. It also violates everything udev ever
intended to do.
/usr and /var on separate partitions, plus a custom kernel without an
initramfs is *exactly* the most common use case for Gentoo....
I wish you could convince the devs of that. I already have /var on its
own and was planning to put /usr on its own. I'm not now tho. Looks
like /, /boot, /home and that's it for the OS part. It downright sucks.
You planning to explain this to the devs? Maybe you will have better
luck. They said it is a dev from Fedora that started this . . . .
crap. ;-)
