I have not tried it though! I have been doing this for /home which is a directory /opt/home and /opt is a separate partition - I then bind mount it to /home as a directory in the root partition. It has never given a problem so I wondered if the analogous technique might work for /usr too? This is a side comment and I am not trying to subvert the main thread discussion here. -- mike c
