There should be absolutely no problem by putting /usr on a seperate partition or LV. My /usr-line looks like this: /dev/mapper/nautilus.usr /usr ext3 relatime 0 2 And quoting "man fstab": ,---- | The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to deter‐ | mine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.
