[SOLVED]/usr not mounting during boot with efistub
I'm new to UEFI and i tried to install archlinux this way: root partition and boot partition inside /dev/sda; usr, var, home and swap partitions inside /dev/sdb. But after following all the instructions for uefi install (bootctl install and nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf) i rebooted and got the "root device mounted successfully but /sbin/init does not exist" error. Then, i realized that my usr partition wasn't being mounted. Is it a problem with EFISTUB/gummibot or a problem with my installation methods? I need to use the /dev/sda for root and boot only 'cause it's a small SSD. What is the best solution?

A separate /usr partition requires special setup. If you really want to run this way (there's very little reason to, but whatever), you need to set up your initramfs to handle it.

Is there a tutorial for this special setup? Should I give up my separated /usr? My "reason" to separate it was the size of both steam folder and shared data folder(for family pictures and songs)
