a while?
30 years ago i guess!

/ and /home is strongly recommanded to be seperated

a seperate /usr is USELESS because it makes no sense on a
single machine but what do people recommend this think
happens if multiple machines share /usr while their
/var/lib/rpm is drifting away

whati never have ssen in my life before is that someone
seperates /usr AND below this /usr/lib and /usr/local

and you do wonder that UsrMove fails?
seriously?

you have only to understand that seperate /usr is useless and NOT SUPPORTED
since a very long time, one theoretical goal of the UsrMove is to make
it supported again, but NOT how you made it with split
/usr on another partition in 2 additional pieces
