981	Separate USR and Systemd	William Harrington	clfs-commits@…	"Systemd doesn't support a configuration with a separate /usr filesystem.

It will either remount it when an initramfs mounts /usr, but if /usr ends up being empty, the systemd core will print that a separate /usr configuration is not supported.

We need to have a disclaimer in the book, probably around the partitioning section, that a separate /usr is not a valid configuration supported by systemd, but that /usr can be mounted with an initramfs setup and systemd will remount it when it is remounting / as well.

I've attempted to hack the systemd core code to run mount /usr and read the fstab entry, but that probably is not a good idea.

I can boot systemd all the way to a login with a separate /usr, but systemd-logind and any dbus daemons won't run as the required binaries and shared data are at /usr


A separate /usr for the sysvinit book is still probably fine.  Outside of udev having some things in /usr, it is probably still okay."	task	closed	trivial	CLFS Standard 3.0	BOOK	CLFS Standard GIT	fixed		berzerkula@… jonathan@… chris@…
