Oh, I guess you didn't try. :) Really, it does not work for many non-trivial things. The only sane option is a read-only rootfs. Having /usr somewhere else is just a pretty useless exercise, and many people gave up supporting that in their software, and it will not get easier in the future. Honestly the entire split of / and /usr, like we usually do, is just plain stupid in the first place. It might be ok if we would put the desktop stuff in /usr, but spreading random commandline tools and libraries around causes nothing but trouble for no good reason. Thanks, Kay
