Believe me, this got talked about a lot, just not necessarily in this mailing list. There are a lot of arguments on both sides of the discussion, but as always, the people writing the code have the most say in what happens for the people that use their code. Unfortunately for this situation, most of the major distributions have started using it. -snip- > The page at freedesktop refers mostly to Fedora.

That's because the primary developer(s) for systemd works for Red Hat and similar to openSUSE and SLES, things to into Fedora before hitting RHEL. > Also these pages mention that having /usr on a separate partition is still > supported. But is it? It is supported.

Again, I'm not seeing that on any of my test systems, so there is something about your (and Marcy's) particular setups that is triggering a bug. > @Mark Post, What is the position of Suse in this matter?
