I think I replied so a similar question from tanstaafl already, but basically all you need to do is boot with a rescue disk, mount /usr somewhere else and copy everything in it to the usr/ directory on / But the devil is in the details and if anything will trip you up it's the extact contents you have there and how much space you have available. I don't know of any script around that automates it, so human eyeballs is what it will take. If you post the output of df -h, du -sh /usr, du -sh /usr/*, mount, and the contents of fstab, loads of folks here can tell you how to proceed. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
