right, /usr/* tells to copy everything inside /usr/, but not the /usr directory name itself. I think a different way to achieve this is: # cp -ax /usr > # umount /mnt > # rm -r /usr/* > # mount /dev/hda2 /usr > > Then edited /etc/fstab to add a line > > /dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 I believe you then mount /dev/hda2 to be able to edit /etc/fstab and add the line... ah, I see now, the mount command does exist in /bin. Instead, I edited /etc/fstab and added the line first, then I removed the contents inside /usr... and rebooted. Many different ways to achieve the same goal. I just wonder if I /lost+found subdirs created in new ext2 partitions can be deleted or they have to stay there for any reason... they do take some space.
