Public bug reported:
After upgrading from Utopic to Vivid, I started getting some strange
systemd errors and a boot time that was excessively long. After a good
long while of investigation I discovered that it was due to my system
having a seperate /usr partition.
The two solutions seem to be to a) move /usr into the root partition, or
b) mount /usr early in the initramfs. I'd prefer the b) option, but this
is not available as mounting /usr from initramfs is only available in
versions of initramfs-tools >= 0.117. The current version in vivid is
0.103.
This is from the release file for initramfs-tools:
* Mount /usr if present in the /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs
(Closes: #652459)
This issue must be affecting thousands of people who have a partitioning
scheme that isn't just 'all on one partition', so I would ask that the
version of initramfs-tools on vivid is upgraded to at least version
0.117 as a matter of urgency. This issue was not present in trusty.
Thanks
Rob
