No objections, but note there used to be several scripts in rcS.d/ depending on /usr/ being mounted, and these need to be moved from S to (2 3 4 5) first. Also, I do not believe any initrd will NFS mount /usr/, so the use case described do not really match your description. When /usr/ is NFS mounted (for example because of size constraints), it is not possible to merge / and /usr/. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
