That's a good rule but I don't think it's meant to run without /usr. 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.
