Hi . Right now i have given up on the seperate /usr , can i safely move /usr/share to another drive and symlink it to /usr/share . I have it up and working again but the disk is showing 100% full /usr/share seems to be quite large /usr/src has already been moved and symlinked Pete . -- Powered by Kernel: 3.2.2-1-ARCH KDE Development Platform: 4.8.00 (4.8.0 23:50:10 up 15 min, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.18, 0.27

I had the same problem. Mkinitcpio now provides two hooks to allow one to keep /usr on a separate partition, the fsck and shutdown hooks. By adding these hook to mkinitcpio.conf it solved my problem. Kudos to those who work on mkinitcpio. HOOKS="base udev fsck autodetect pata scsi sata shutdown filesystems usbinput" Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

We assume that all of /usr is available when rc.sysinit is run, so this might not be a good idea (but might work if you are lucky). mkinitcpio should be able to mount your /usr for you, do you know why this is not happening? Do you use some fancy disk layout (raid,lvm,encryption?). Cheers, Tom
