The idea of creating a new empty partition and using it to hold /usr/local is very safe "if" you have unallocated space on your disk.
I have a lot of free space on my disc, about 700 GB, but this space already belongs to a partition. I have no unpartitioned space.
Then use symlinks. For example, suppose you have a big /data partition with free space, and that you want to "move" /usr/local to there. Well, just create a directory: /data/HereIMoveUsrSrc/ and copy there the entire /usr/src. Once copied, rename it as "/usr/oldsrc". Then create a symlink: usr/src/ --> /data/HereIMoveUsrSrc/ Once that works and you test it, remove "/usr/oldsrc". The procedure is safe, as you don't delete anything till finished and tested. Another procedure is uing "mount binds" instead of symlinks. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
