only thing I ask
As a debian user since 2.0 in 1998.. (whose personal servers still split /usr /var and /home etc on different logical volumes)
is they keep system rescue utilities on /
But sounds like they won't.. stupid stupid.. sad to see.
reminds me of one time I tried to rescue a solaris system many years ago, the /usr was not accessible for whatever reason I forgot why at the time, and of course I couldn't even run 'ls', I had to rely on 'echo *' to see what files were on the system to try to find the command to mount or fsck or something.
oh well, like systemd that I haven't had the misfortune of using yet I guess I'll have to get used to this move too eventually.(*trying not to think about it*)
