We can add it under the general heading of why using
LVM for boot volumes doesn't work on i386 platforms.
Giving /usr its own mount point genrally levaes the
root voume small, static and perfectly happy on a
small partition at the top of your disk. Using a
static link for LVM and installing it in the root
leaves the whole setup quite a bit more dependable.
