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 )
