|
All system images contain a .git directory, containing metadata
|
|
|
|
|
for every file on /. Once installed, a user can easily keep
|
|
|
|
|
their system updated, just by pulling in the latest release.

Unmount your /usr partition:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(root)# umount -R /usr
|
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
|
(root)# umount /dev/sdX # the drive mounted to /usr
|
