I think I replied so a similar question from tanstaafl already, but |
| 13 |
basically all you need to do is boot with a rescue disk, mount /usr |
| 14 |
somewhere else and copy everything in it to the usr/ directory on / |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But the devil is in the details and if anything will trip you up it's |
| 17 |
the extact contents you have there and how much space you have |
| 18 |
available. I don't know of any script around that automates it, so human |
| 19 |
eyeballs is what it will take. |

If you post the output of df -h, du -sh /usr, du -sh /usr/*, mount, and |
| 22 |
the contents of fstab, loads of folks here can tell you how to proceed. |
