or alternatively do (and preferably from single user mode, with a "mount
-a" to mount all of the fs):
cd /usr
tar cf - ./local | (cd /muz; tar xf -)
find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_usr
cd /muz
find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_muz
diff /var/tmp/cksums_*
(the cksum output files should be identical...)
rm -r /usr/local
ln -s /muz/local /usr/local
