[Mageia-dev] Separate /usr issues: Some adjustments needed

Sat Apr 28 14:22:39 CEST 2012

Hi,
+
+OK, I'm just doing final (hopefully!) testing of various setups.
+
+Here are some changes I think we need to make:
+
+1. ncurses: Move /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.5 to /lib64 (there is a bug
+report open about this but I kinda forgot about it until now :s)
+
+2. xz: Move /usr/lib64/liblzma.so.5 to /lib64 (systemctl needs it -
+after doing a urpmi upgrade with a separate /usr, calling reboot via
+it's systemctl symlink is the only way to reboot the machine, but it
+fails after /usr is unmounted due to this.
+
+3. kmod: Move to /lib64 and /bin - When booting under sysvinit it is
+impossible to mount /usr if the module is not loaded in the initrd -
+e.g. if I have /usr on btrfs, I cannot modprobe the btrfs module to
+mount it.
+
+
+Any objections/problems with these suggestions?
