Aron, merging / and /usr is not related to the ability of creating BEs. The beadm utility will create a snapshot of / and all underlying filesystems. Even /var/tmp (if it is separated fs) should be a part of BE (not shared between BEs), because of FHS.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
