I have the unique pleasure of waiting as /usr is copied back to my Ubuntu SSD after offloading it to a sea of spinning rust to save some space. Surprise surprise Ubuntu keeps almost everything in /usr these days and it didnt boot :l but hey, at least BusyBox in initramfs has my back for times like these. Can i mount a specific ext4 directory with options? the issue seems to be my attempt at using a bind mount fails while running from the ramdisk, for whatever reason it wont mount my large data drive on /data
I’m surprised you can’t put /usr on a separate partition. Back in my SunOS days, we used to NFS mount /usr on all our workstations.
You totally can, this is some weirdness in the mount order during boot and not having the disk available at the same path in the init ramdisk
Also, Ubuntu making bin a link to /usr/bin doesn’t help :P
