Dumb question: in this era of HUGE drives, why put /usr on a
separate partition? I've only got:
/ - used 3GB
/boot - used 6MB
/home - used 2GB
/var - used 5GB
/usr/local/data - used 32GB (where all big data files go).
Putting /usr in a separate partition, IMO, is a relic from when
a 250MB drive was considered huge.
