2) Just use 'mv' .. mv /usr /usrold mv /usrnew /usr ..
it's just a rename.
a) If you were to use this, it would be
mv -r /usr /usrnew
note the "-r" to recurs to lower directories.
b) If it were on one mount point, it would be a rename, but would change
the ownership to the
user and group executing the command. As the OP said this was between
mount point, this would
be an actual move, with the same caveat as previous. It would also wreak
havok on any links,
hard or soft.
