I thought that instead of mounting /dev/vg/usr on /usr
I would mount it at /mnt/usr and have /usr a symlink to /mnt/usr
(Similarly for opt et al)
This worked for a while but
/usr/lib/libdl.so is a symlink to ../../lib64/libdl.so.2
and the symlink uses physical not logical interpretation of ..
Hence /usr/lib/../.. is /mnt instead of /
oops.
