Several methods:

1. Easy one:  make a directory on an available file system, copy parts
of /usr to it and add a symbolic link:.  E.g.
    mkdir /oracle/usr/lib
    cp -a /usr/lib /oracl/usr
    mv /usr/lib /usr/lib.orig
    ln -s /oracle/usr/lib /usr/lib
    # Do some testing
    rm -Rf /usr/lib.orig

2. Find a place with a lot of free space which is greater than you
   currently have for /usr.  Copy whole of /usr to it.

3. Use logical partitioning.  This I like a lot.  When I got my last
   Disk it was way too small, but I made six file systems:
   /
   /var
   /usr
   /usr/local
   /home
   /opt

   When this began to feel crowded, I bought a new disk, installed it,
   create one big partition, made a physical volume, and gave
   distributed the space to all my file systems.  Thus, I can take
   away space, and grant it to another file system as I like.  Easy.
