http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken

and

from
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html

Do not place /usr on a separate partition

If /usr is on a separate partition from /, the boot process becomes
much more complex, and in some situations (like installations on iSCSI
drives), might not work at all.
