[ale] partitioning and /usr [was Re: Looking for recommendations on LVM + soft Raid on home server]

[Jim Kinney]

Hmm. I can see having /var, /tmp, /usr/local, /opt, /home separate from /.
I don't see a benefit splitting out /usr. I'm very curious as to the
reasoning. In fact, I see a decent amount of reasoning to keep /sbin, /usr,
/usr/sbin and /etc always on the same partition. Main one is that is what
gets updated during a system upgrade.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
