I have to do something about it!

Comment on Version bump to systemd-43 / Move to /usr by Erik

Ah ok, just misunderstood :) I have plenty of space on my root partition and /usr is on the same partition. Thanks for clarifying!

No, by “separate /usr” I people who have a /usr that’s not located on the same partition as / itself. So, this: “/ and /usr are on the same partition”.

And, no, you can’t just move things around like that. You should increase the size of your / partition and move /usr back onto it or use an initramfs as described. Unless you have a simple way to make / larger, you should probably use dracut.

Quick question: by /usr separate from /, do you mean that /bin for example is just a symlink to /usr/bin or that / and /usr are on the same partition? Is it ok to just merge the two by doing:

#mv -r /bin/* /usr/bin
#rm /bin
#/usr/bin/ln -s /usr/bin bin

For all of the directories in / (root)?

Hello Wulf,

thanks for the very good explanation.
What I did after upgrading to systemd-43, to find out which packages to reinstall regarding systemd, was:

cave search -m */*::installed -k MYOPTIONS systemd

This gave me all the packages I installed so far with systemd support.
What I did not find out, how to filter the list of packages with names only (no details).

Keep up the great work!

Markus

Yes, it is. Real, native multilib support.

Is that *real* multilib support? Looks like my only excuse for still using Gentoo is inertia.

To expand on my last post:
* parse build systems for dependencies – m4, etc
* use svm, etc to classify flags
* create an optional integration testing framework – something like rspec for integration testing of different components
* create a dsl for modification of defaults
* use a default daemon monitor such as monit or bluepill
