Hi! I did something like this once. Just get the drive ready and mount under, say, /mnt. Since /tmp doesn't really matter copy everything from /usr to /tmp. Something like "cp -pR /usr /mnt". Next you might have to alter /etc/fstab according to your new drive settings and reboot. There is probably a more sophisticated method but like this is worked for me.
