No problem for me. If I have to do it, I will. In fact I already use an initramfs for uvesafb and v86d [1]. I was simply answer you on WHY I want a separate /usr partition. > And why is both [...] migrating /usr to / an problem? This depend on your setup. Mine is basically like this : - /tmp and /var are still on the root partition. - everything else have their own partition, this includes : - official dirs : /usr /portage/trees /portage/distpack /home /opt - custom dirs : /data and raid arrays. For example, when running emerge -uDN world, /var is intensively used during compilation. If /usr is on a separate partition on another hard drive, launching multiple applications during the system update will necessarily be faster than if /usr is on /. > > > When the system is busy, it is responsiveness. > > I can guess.
