My first response to this 300+ post thread, and only to say that in
something like 15 years of playing with & using Linux I've never split
/usr & no longer split /var. I also don't use LVM or anything fancy
like that. I just keep backups and use them if there's a failure. Life
is pretty simple.
My suspicion is that by far most casual desktop users of Linux, Gentoo
based or not, run pretty much this way and will be unaffected by this
whole change and as such have no reason to post.
As for the initrd stuff, I'd welcome a way to have one built
automatically as part of the kernel build/install. My experience with
software RAID has been such that I often cannot get a new RAID to boot
without it so having one that's up to date and 'just there' (@tm)
would be fairly cool from my POV.
My only & last post on this thread.
Cheers,
Mark
