We (still (claim to)) support people who mount /usr as a separate filesystem - perhaps as an nfs mount shared across multiple machines. Not a common configuration, and I think nobody is actively testing it, but not something we have any desire to invalidate in the main (sysvinit) books. For building in a single largeish fileysystem, there is minimal extra work in putting things into /lib or /bin, /sbin so the unified-usr approach does not appear to offer any significant benefits. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
