Hi Alan

cp -dR should do it - Although you will need to "mk /usr" again so that you 
have a mount point in the directory tree to mount /dev/hdb1 on.

If you are using an ext3 file system, "tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1" will create the 
jounal.

BTW You will need to do "mkfs /dev/hdb1" between steps 3 and 4 otherwise the 
mount command will fail with an unrecognised media warning.

Regards, Paul.
