This does seem odd. Might I also point out... >From <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEROOTFILESYSTEM> To boot a system, enough must be present on the root partition to mount other filesystems. This includes utilities, configuration, boot loader information, and other essential start-up data. /usr, /opt, and /var are designed such that they may be located on other partitions or filesystems. >From <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEUSRHIERARCHY> /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read- only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS- compliant hosts and must not be written to. > Are there any bug reports that lead to this decision? No idea, but given that there are probably a fair few systems out there which currently have a separate /usr, I predict quite a few bug reports because of this change...
