Put the very same stuff in the initramfs? Most initramfs creation scripts should already do this automatically, and with compat symlinks even those that don't probably will still end up doing it anyway.. Apologies if I missed the point of your question. Are you looking for a solution OTHER than an initramfs? I imagine somebody could stick some kind of wrapper on /, but in general if you want /usr not on the root filesystem with a /usr merge you're going to have to jump through hoops if you're not using an initramfs. If you want a more traditional configuration where / is used to mount /usr then a merged /usr probably isn't for you. -- Rich
