if i understood correctly,  the original question was dealing with
partitions ...
	mount /dev/hdaxxx /home
	mount /dev/hdayyy /usr

	.. vs ..
 
	mount /dev/hdaxxx /usr
	mount /dev/hdayyy /home


	= to do the above, just change /etc/fstab
	
	= now /home and /usr is swapped 
-->>	= no copying of data is needed

== if one wants to move /home/data-stuff to the otehr partition,
   you need to make sure you have enough space for both /usr and /home
   at the same time ...

	- if not ... put all that data someplace else 
	( some place reliable )

	( /usr and /home can be huge amts of data )
