Why, after rsync'ing /usr to /tmp-usr, do the sizes differ?
# du -h --max-depth=0 /usr
3.5G /usr
and

3.7G /tmp-usr
Is that because of the different filesystems (ext4 on / and reiserfs
on /usr) maybe?
Is there a simple way to get the total # of files and directories for
comparison, like you can in Windows when getting properties of a folder?
Still curious about this, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger
anyway, and it was about as uneventful as it gets...
Took all of 6 minutes (and almost all of that was rsyncing /usr)...
Made a gentoo forum post in case anyone else wants to do this and may be
a little hesitant like I was...

Thanks to all who patiently answered my questions...
I now have /usr merged back into / and no longer have to choose between
using an intramfs (which I vehemently did not want to do) and updating
my system without fear of breakage.
<whew>
