I think it's relevant
I call shennanigans.

While he HAS made a copy of /usr on a different partition, it is not in use...

Rationale:

1. Fstab does NOTHING, it is just there for 'completeness' and is re-created EVERY boot by genfstab.awk and some other convoluted magic.

2. You CANNOT boot the n900 with /usr on emmc. Consider Backupmenu, it is stored in /usr/share/backupmenu and is run without mounting emmc and Mydocs.

How would backup menu run if it were located on emmc before emmc was mounted?
