Hi Mark, Thanks for your test. Indeed I can open up an SR at IBM. Good to know it shouldn't be normal behavior.
Let me list some more details on the installation process. /* Not actual mdisk password:-) just to show where the disks go */ USER SLES12 MDISK 0100 3390 1 3338 LXG1A4 MR root MDISK 0102 3390 3339 300 LXG1A4 MR swap MDISK 0104 3390 3639 6378 LXG1A4 MR rootvg MDISK 0105 3390 1 10016 LXG1A3 MR rootvg MDISK 0106 3390 1 10016 LXG1A2 MR rootvg MDISK 0107 3390 1 10016 LXG1A1 MR rootvg During install I reworked the partitions: /dev/dasda1 2299908 253036 1910328 12% / /dev/mapper/rootvg-usrlv 5029504 1849864 2901112 39% /usr /dev/mapper/rootvg-optlv 3030800 415828 2441304 15% /opt /dev/mapper/rootvg-varlv 5029504 102524 4648452 3% /var /dev/mapper/rootvg-servicelv 5029504 10232 4740744 1% /service /dev/mapper/rootvg-homelv 1998672 1233496 643936 66% /home /dev/mapper/rootvg-tmplv 2064208 3096 1956256 1% /tmp I have removed "Gnome Desktop" and "X window System" from the software list (patterns). Install is executed with an ssh terminal. During reboot after in initial install I already see some messages regarding /usr but I have to investigate further to see when this issue actually happens. After initial install I have updated grub and Dracut to make sure disks are referred to as by-path. (refer to a discussion regarding UUID some time ago.) It might be it only appears only after I had updated grub/Dracut.

I just did an install to try to replicate this, and I see nothing like that happening. The only messages I see regarding /usr are these: Dec 14 13:00:22 linux dracut-initqueue[307]: inactive '/dev/system/usr' [3.00 GiB] inherit Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounting /sysroot/usr... Dec 14 13:00:22 linux systemd[1]: Mounted /sysroot/usr. Clearly there's something quite different about my install versus yours. I think you're going to need to open a service request with your service provider.
