Hi, many users/sysadmins are alarmed by the messages of the systemd init as systemd does complain that /usr as a separate partition isn't supported anymore[1,2,3,4].
The real reason seems not related to systemd nor to sysvinit but to udev[5] which does not support a separate /usr anymore. The background seems to be that there is no check for utilities belonging to the /usr partition. As the udev utility is a major part of most modern distribution today and moving all required tools from /usr to / will become /usr useless as this may require also moving a lot of libraries and other binaries (e.g. for resolving the dependencies for the tools and libraries for bluetooth support). Now the question rises if LSB/FHS will be changed at this point?
