This is why the whole /usr issue is irrelevant and not a fix at all. All it does is avoid the most common breakages caused by udev trying to run all its rules too early in the boot process. Putting /var on / would "fix" your example, but what if a rule required access to an NFS mount? Every time you fix one of these breakages, you are kludging around the real problem. -- Neil Bothwick Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.
