You said you tried to "move" /usr to the sd. Then you show the cp command?
I think you're saying you want to backup the /usr to the sd?
trouble moving /usr
im trying to move /usr to another partition off a real Hard drive install (myeeepc ssd) to a SDcard so i logged out after finishing install and booted up with live USB so i could copy the /usr file to SD and renamed original /usrOLD fixed fstab to include new mount point however when i check the old /usr size compared to copied its slightly larger.. i did the copy in konqorure its obvious it didnt copy everything over... how should i of done this?
"cp /usrOLD /usr" ?

will get all your hidden files, but as to whether this is a good idea or not, weeelll.......Code:cp /usr/.* /<SD card mount point>/usr/

cp -aR /usr /newpartition
The "a" option means it will archive all including symbolic links so your backup partition will mount perfectly. The /usr directory will be created with this copy.
thanks dattaway thats what i was looking for cause i knew it was leaving hidden files behind... just wanted to know correct command
