Considering that all you want to do is swap the size on those two
partitions, it may be easier to just move the data from one partition to the
other, rather than going through the trouble of resizing. A couple of ways I
can think of accomplishing this, but the best practice would probably be to do
it in rescue mode. Move the contents of /home onto /usr, and move the contents
of /usr onto /home. Edit your /etc/fstab and swap the names of the two
partitions (/dev/sda2 becomes /home, and /dev/sda6 becomes /usr), and reboot.
Anyone see a big problem with this?
