Is a separate /usr currently fully supported in Ubuntu? http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken argues rather convincingly that udev rules might be trying to access things like /usr/share/misc/pci.ids during early boot, at least in Fedora. > Also, the separation of /sbin and /usr/sbin is not just totally > random; for non-admin users it makes them not appear in tab completion > etc, which cleans up the command namespace a bit. Doesn't Ubuntu put both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin in $PATH by default for all users? My /etc/environment contains PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" and I'm quite sure I haven't edited it by hand.
