/usr/sbin/tzconfig

Please do not do this. /bin and /sbin are required to be on the root file
system. They contain binaries you need to fix things when you have
troubles mounting file systems other than the root file system. The same
goes for /lib and /etc.
What puzzles me is that you have /bin on a seperate mount point and you
are still able to mount it. On my system, the only 'mount' binary is in
/bin.
