mount -o remount /usr

doesn't help. It seems to have figured out all by itself that / is now
on
/dev/mapper/jessie-devuan--root
but it still thinks /usr is on
/dev/mapper/VG1-devuan--usr which no longer exists, even after the
remount.

It's late at night here, and I'm tired. (I suppose it's daytime in New
Zealand) If no ideas show up overnight I'm going to try rebooting
on the off chance that the message is merely precautionary, and if that
doesn't work, I can simply reinstall. It will be easier this time
because now that I've already done it.

Still wondering why initramfs needs to know where /usr is.

4 S     0     1     0  0  80   0 -   810 poll_s ?        00:00:01 init

Some program called init. There is an /sbin/init, but I have no proof
that it is indeed that one.

There's also a process running systemd-logind but the name may have been
trunctated. Could it have come in with xfce? or whatever display
manager Devuan uses?

I thought, in my innocence, that devuan might have avoided systemd. I
guess we're not all the way there yet.
