What is the error message you are getting? The difference between systemd and sysvinit
in this case is that often sysvinit silently ignores problems and just moves on which
is why you never notice when a mount fails, for example.

That's not what I meant, really. But the point is: If you are using a separate
/usr on Linux these days, you are voiding your warranty which is why Debian
is even moving towards unifying /usr and /bin, /sbin etc.

Again, there is nothing Alpha-specific in systemd that would cause such breakage.
