     Sorry to go a little off-topic, but /etc is there for proper 
sorting of files, not by the necessity or possibility to mount it on a 
different filesystem, as opposed to /usr. If /etc was on a different 
filesystem, it should be mounted by the initramfs script, because it 
contains data essential to the system, first of all the init scripts. 
Therefore I think you can be assured /etc will never be a mountpoint.
