Why, after rsync'ing /usr to /tmp-usr, do the sizes differ?<br>
<br>
# du -h --max-depth=0 /usr<br>
3.5G /usr<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
# du -h --max-depth=0 /tmp-usr<br>
3.7G /tmp-usr<br>
<br>
Is that because of the different filesystems (ext4 on / and
reiserfs on /usr) maybe?<br>
<br>
Is there a simple way to get the total # of files and directories
for comparison, like you can in Windows when getting properties of
a folder?<br>

Still curious about this, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger
anyway, and it was about as uneventful as it gets...
<br>
<br>
Took all of 6 minutes (and almost all of that was rsyncing /usr)...
<br>
<br>
Made a gentoo forum post in case anyone else wants to do this and
may be a little hesitant like I was...

Thanks to all who patiently answered my questions...
<br>
<br>
I now have /usr merged back into / and no longer have to choose
between using an intramfs (which I vehemently did not want to do)
and updating my system without fear of breakage.
