How to move 5GB from /usr to /root? [Urgent]

[Untamed]

Hello, I have been looking into the disklabel editor, but not found any solutions.
How do I take 5GB of space from /usr [which has 223 GB currently] and move it to /root?
I already have a full freebsd installed and files on the /usr.
Help is appreciated ASAP, thanks!

The only way I now is to use dump everything, repartion disk, newfs, restore
But it's slow and requires additional HDD to keep dump files.

I need a way where I can cut out 5GB and move it from and to a different folder.. Thanks..

Use ln. This should be enough.

what is wrong with

mv src dst

Who puts 5G in /root? I'm assuming you don't need it for /root itself , but for something in /root, like a directory?

In that case, [cmd=]mkdir -p /usr/root/thatdirectory[/cmd], and symlink to it from /root.

ln -s /usr/root/thatdirectory /root/

It will now be available as /root/thatdirectory (assuming everything is mounted )

@Untamed: before you do anything brash, let's see the output of:
# df -h

Maybe you could provide a little background on what's going on.
