For some value of "works" -- the change between stable and testing (and perhaps some backports) is that some libraries in /usr are now required during boot. The initramfs has mounted /usr since before Jessie, which helped a lot with the countless big and small bugs that occur from the / vs. /usr split. (The /usr merge, once it lands, will fix this once and for all.) > You can have /usr in a separate partition, the symlink-workaroud to > BTRFS-constraints > should also be workable. As Felipe explained, this will only work if your initrd then also mounts the file system that /usr points to. > Please don't try to shine your communication-problems by giving me incorrect > facts.

This is totally correct information, not a "communication problem". Martin
