I have one server with separate /usr that's in LVM. It only gets rebooted for
kernel changes, or power loss greater than USB. The latter condition happened
two days ago, but everything worked when it was booted again.
I've got an initramfs on my laptop with everything on one LVM, so writing one
for that server wouldn't be impossible. My only issue is having initramfs
forced on us because of other people's bad ideas. And my server is setup the
way it is for a lot of reasons, security being one. It has:
o@server ~ $ df -hT

so moving /usr into / isn't even an option.
So perhaps one day it will get an initramfs ... or go back to devfs. :D
