I thought that instead of mounting /dev/vg/usr on /usr I would mount it at /mnt/usr and have /usr a symlink to /mnt/usr (Similarly for opt et al) This worked for a while but /usr/lib/libdl.so is a symlink to ../../lib64/libdl.so.2 and the symlink uses physical not logical interpretation of .. Hence /usr/lib/../.. is /mnt instead of / oops. allan
