Hmm. I can see having /var, /tmp, /usr/local, /opt, /home separate from /. I don't see a benefit splitting out /usr. I'm very curious as to the reasoning. In fact, I see a decent amount of reasoning to keep /sbin, /usr, /usr/sbin and /etc always on the same partition. Main one is that is what gets updated during a system upgrade.<br>

I've usually broken these out too.. And was surprised to find that Fedora 16<br>
spits out a warning if you have /usr on it's own partition. The seems to be<br>
something to do with the new systemd, which manages the init scripts.<br>
