I'm confused over the whole separate /usr partition is broken thing: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
Everything appears to work swimmingly here after 1 month of use -- separate /usr partition does not appear to be broken...anymore??
maybe, maybe not, it is not well tested at all
It was never broken, when we started mounting /usr from within the initramfs after the /usr-move.
Just trying to future proof my setup; if it's better to merge /usr into rootfs, so be it, better to do it early days with the new system.
Otherwise, if someone can chime in here with some sage partitioning advice as to how to proceed moving forward with Fedora, that would be much appreciated.
FWIW, as a beginner the benefits I see in a diverse micro-managed partitioning scheme (vs. the mega partition) is being able to fsck quickly; clone partitions quickly (e.g. copy to additional disks), and prevent runaway logs and the like (there are likely others)
it makes ZERO sense to split /usr to a own partition you owuld really clone a partition containing the whole system or share it with another setup without the depending RPM database which lives in /var/lib/rpm/?
sorry but the idea of a seperate /usr is broken at all
This is FUD. The idea is perfectly fine and we should bring our OS in shape for doing it so.
