Er...
You should not move files somewhere under /usr to the corresponding
somewhere under /usr/local; ie, not to places under "/usr/local" that
the systems searchs for programs and files, because those files are
probably compiled to be installed under /usr. Maybe I'm confusing you.
As long as he moves the entire directory and symlinks to the new
location, what's the problem?
If moving to a new partition be careful. There are some hardlinks in the
structure and I have been caught out by broken links after doing a
similar move..
Where were those hard links? As I mentioned in another note, there are
some directories that cannot be moved, as they're required at boot up,
but I'd be suprised if anything under /usr would have problems.
