Well...
/ is 19GB, with 18GB available.
/usr is 20GB, with 13GB used, with 7.9GB available.
I guess I'd be ok with going from 18GB available on / to just 5GB

it's really easy. You boot from a livecd, mount /usr in another
directory,
Not exactly sure how to do this since /user in on lvm...
copy all the files from it to /usr (be sure to preserve
links, permissions, attributes, etc.),
So, once I have it mounted
cp -rp ... ?
change /etc/fstab, and off you go.
Currently:
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 /backups ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/vg2/home /home reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/vg2/usr /usr reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/vg2/var /var reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
So, just remove the line referencing /usr?
And really, maybe you could try an initramfs? It will be much more
easy than any juggle of filesystems.
I always compile my kernels manually, by choice - so, no desire to use
genkernel or dracut.
How would I then create one? I am *not* a programmer, just a reasonably
competent general sys admin.
Is there a 'generic' one that I can use? Or is there a separate tool
that will create one based on my system profile (or whatever)?
Thanks again
