   Surely you mean 'mount /dev/sda9 /mnt' because your old /usr is   
   merely a subdirectory of the Filesystem in /dev/sda9.

   You probably meant /mnt/usr, but you shouldn't delete this _now_   
   because you want to keep it in case anything bad happens, so instead   
   you do:   
   mv -iv /mnt/usr /mnt/zzusr.2013-02-10 # cf. date '+%Y-%m-%d'   
      
   'zz' as first two letters os a file name has been known to me   
   for a long time as "delete this when you don't know any longer   
   what it's good for.

   Test adequately before removing /zzusr.2013-02-10 .

   Maybe my comments are a little bit late, but my two inserted commands   
   protect you and others reading this from tiny but destructive errors.
