Well done, keep it up.

Thanks everyone, I've nailed it \o/ A more detailed story follows.
After taking the approach of offloading / and /usr checks to Dracut I've
disabled fsck for those partitions in /etc/fstab so OpenRC fsck wouldn't
attempt to check /usr (and fail) by setting passno (the last column to
0). It turned

Shouldn't that be taken care of by the "/etc/fstab" entries?
Obviously, if "/usr" is on a separate partition, it needs to be mounted at
the time when "/usr/sbin/fsck" is expected to be present.

It is, and the reason it works is that you do not u

It's OpenRC service fsck that performs filesystem checks on boot runlevel
(/etc/init.d/fsck):
$ rc-status boot | grep fsck
fsck [ started ]

Alan, Floyd,
Thanks for your responses.
Indeed I prefer to not maintain my own initramfs scripts. Right now I
use genkernel initramfs but it seems to not be doing the right thing
regarding /usr partition mounting (as I understand now it's not a
problem with OpenRC fsck service). On the other hand

Exactly. Probably got lost in between the file contents:

Thank you for the suggestion,

It seems the init script(s) within your initramfs implements no
logic/hooks for fsck but just mount your /usr partition. After switching

Hi folks,
I've posted about this problem to the forums[1] without luck despite
getting more than a thousand views so I thought I'll try here.
My system boots successfully but filesystem check fails for /usr which
is on a separate partition:
