funny you quote that in this particular context. Seems to me the
whole mess introduced by systemd (incl the /usr/ disaster) is
exactly that: reinventing unix poorly
Why do you keep claiming the /usr problem is something to do with
systemd?
Probably because it does, it wasn't really a problem until systemd came
along and couldn't seem to fix it.
systemd has no problem with /usr being on a different filesystem *if the
filesystem is mounted before systemd starts*.
Making sure /usr was mounted before It was needed *was* really a problem
before systemd was invented, which is why various UNIX systems started
using a merged /usr in the 1990's.
Do you know what the "sysv" in "sysvinit" refers to?
Yes, thank you.
Oh sorry, you want someone to tell you ;-)
'sys' == 'system'
'v' == Roman numeral four
For values of four that are very close to five.
sysvinit is the set of init scripts for UNIX System V, one of the last
versions of which was SVR4.2
