Interesting read, also that link for systemd. What about the following as a gentoo-solution: As long as filesystem-support for /usr is in the kernel, why can't "/usr" be mounted right after "/"? Eg. instead of worrying with an init*, why not edit the boot-scripts to have "/usr" mounted before udev and colleagues start? mount is still in /bin fstab is still in /etc Both should be available during boot. A script that does: mount / check /etc/fstab to see if "/usr" is seperate if yes: mount /usr -- Joost
