In my case I still have /home in /usr/home, but I should start making it
separate in the hope that I could mount /usr read-only most of the time
reducing the time it takes to fsck when I crash my test machines. This is
peculiar to an environ where one expects to crash a lot though. :) Even so,
I would be looking at /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home, and swap. Still under 7
('c' is reserved).
