An alternative to booting to external media, etc, would be a bind
mount of / and /usr on separate temporary mount points, then dumping

re-mount of the current /usr in -o ro mode might not be a terrible
idea in that case.

Not comfortable doing that on a productions server at all... but thanks
anyway... :)
That said, if you are booting to a LiveDVD --

Thanks, but no, like I said, I'll just boot that system to a LiveDVD and do
it from there...
That actually does fall under "boot a different system" since the
users won't line up between a LiveDVD and your actual system.
Hmmm, ok, but if I chroot'd into the system (ie, like I might do if I
had an interrupted install, and wanted to pick it back up), that would
solve that?
Or, I could just figure out the right rsync arguments to use... ;)
I just asked on the rsync list too, maybe someone there will chime in
with a little more confidence...
