Hi,

I remember long time ago there will be problem having /usr volume in a 
separated partition -- back to RedHat 6.0 days, when the system would not 
boot. 

I guess there won't be any problem any more nowadays, but just want to be 
sure, and know what factors should be considered when making the move. 
E.g., the last 2 parameters in /etc/fstab (dump & proc) should be 0 0, 
correct?

How about if I make /usr a symlink to a folder on another volume? E.g., 
will normal package installation/removal be ok with a symlinked /usr?

Thanks for the comments.
