This is usable under only very limited circumstances. You'd have to have
space that happens to be physically adjacent to the end of that partition
that isn't used for anything. It can't move a file system or anything of the
sort.
I'd really advise just backing up an re-installing from scratch. It's really
going to be a lot less error prone.
OR
don't re-partition at all, but just use symbolic links to "move" some
directories from /usr to another parition with more space.
