Bob, thanks, that should do the trick.
(appear to be competing schools of thought here, some strongly for, some strongly against).
I'll try both ;-)
If you really want to keep a separate /usr (I do, mounted read-only and
located on an SSD) you just need to arrange to have /usr mounted by dracut
early in the boot sequence. It's not hard:
1. Copy the /usr line from your /etc/fstab into a (probably new) file
/etc/fstab.sys .
2. Edit the file /etc/dracut.conf and change the line
#add_dracutmodules+=""
to read
add_dracutmodules+="fstab-sys"
3. IMPORTANT: In /etc/fstab, disable the automatic fsck for /usr by
putting a zero in field 6.
4. Run dracut to remake the initramfs in /boot.
That's it. Now your /usr gets mounted early in the boot sequence.
It is available when needed, and you can ignore the warning from systemd.
You will have to make your own arrangement for fsck on your /usr. If
you allowed the automatic fsck to run, it would be guaranteed to fail
since the filesystem is mounted. (The special handling for the root
filesystem is hard-coded into fsck and would not apply to a pre-mounted
/usr.)

Hardly surprising if you're doing it with tar, which is making a
complete copy every time. That's the wrong approach. As I mentioned
earlier, rsnapshot, obnam and others can do incremental backups which
take up little space. They are also better run as cron jobs, i.e.
automatically. I run mine when my system is quiescent (4am every day)
but again that's your call.
And it goes without saying that the backup should be to another machine,
e.g. using rsync or a net-mounted filesystem.
Note that these are recommendations for a personal system that you can't
afford to lose. For larger systems you might want to look at solutions
such as Amanda or Bacula (not that these won't work on a personal system
as well, they just need a bit more setting up).

I, too, keep all my contacts in Google Contacts. They sync to
Thunderbird via the Google Contacts extension, sync to my iPhone, iPad,

Youtube and anything which provides videos for web is using
H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 / AVC, to be specific H264 BASELINE PROFILE
and nothing else in context of "MP4" because THIS is the spec
which is supported by Smartphones, Tablets, mobile browsers up to
Firefox on Android in recent releases and most hardware-devices
including hardware acceleration

Hey all.
I'm confused over the whole separate /usr partition is broken thing:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
From an email in current fedora-user thread we have:
"That should not be necessary. And would break a very normal system
setup of using separate drives, *even more so than the blasted can't have
a separate /usr thing that happened recently*."
During Fedora 18 fresh install with custom partitioning chosen, Anaconda
autocompletes mount points so I went with /boot, /, /user, /var, and /home
partitions.
Everything appears to work swimmingly here after 1 month of use -- separate /usr
partition does not appear to be broken...anymore??
Just trying to future proof my setup; if it's better to merge /usr into rootfs,
so be it, better to do it early days with the new system.
Otherwise, if someone can chime in here with some sage partitioning advice as to
how to proceed moving forward with Fedora, that would be much appreciated.

I use....

portable?
* Apple does not support it
* Microsoft does not support it
* many mobile devices does not support it
* most hardware-devices does not support it
don't get me wrong, i owuld love to have VP8 in the position H264
is, but since it's part of my daily job to write software which
supports most to all clients with videos that's not how the world
works for at least some years from now

Time to start trying crazy ideas. Can you access 108.59.9.142? It's the
same site as above, but there may be something off with your DNS
settings. I've had situations where some apps work and others don't, due
to my /etc/resolv.conf being borked.
