I reverted to the old /usr. What I had done: Initially I set up the newly installed drive (da2) to have only one partition (da2s1d) which I chose to be /user (note the e). I tarred /usr to a file in /user tar -cf /user/usr.tar /tar and extracted the file tar -xf usr.tar I had the whole structure of /usr underneath /user/usr And then cd usr mv * .. to have everything under /user Then I edited fstab. Whatever was /user became /usr and /usr became /user. I will definitely try dump. Never used it before.
