This is strange, you shold have all the content of /usr copied inside
/holding instead.
Are you sure you did cp -a /usr/* /holding/  and not  
cp -a /usr/ /holding/  ?

No no, don't mv, you would remove the original content of /usr, with no
way back if something goes wrong.

If /usr is jusr a directory, mounting a partition on it will hide its
original content. This is what you want.
So just mount on /ust the partition that was previously on /holding

HTH,
