You've been suffering a lot from insults and disbelievers and I don't
understand why :(

I didn't post before because I thought I didn't have access to a Unix
box. Then I remembered that there is some old iron here. FWIW, here are
some samples from a session I just ran:

Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Tue Sep  2 17:51:37 BST 2003

% ls -ld /bin
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     system         7 Aug 22  2003 /bin@ -> usr/bin/

% ls -l /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       149840 Apr 15  2003 /bin/sh*

% df -h
Filesystem         Size        Used   Available Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk/dsk0a    240M        208M       7666K    97%    /
/dev/disk/dsk0g   1923M       1335M        395M    78%    /usr


Ok, question then.

What will happen during boot, if partition /usr fails the initial filecheck? It can not be mounted, it has to be repaired first; but the system can not drop you into a repair mode with a shell, because the shell resides in /usr/bin/

What does that unix do? Does it mount /usr readonly?
