I am seriously thinking of splitting the storage of directories under /usr, e.g., /usr/portage and /usr/source actually living somewhere else, on different partition and different filesystem. Let's say something mounted on /mnt/Persistent.

My question: should I use bindmount or symlinks to do that? What's the drawbacks/benefits for either?
