Just to be sure, my fstab will contain something like this:

/dev/hdx   /mnt/nHd  reiserfs  defaults,noatime  0   2
/mnt/nHd/usr  /usr  auto  bind  0 0
/mnt/nHd/home  /home  auto  bind  0 0

As in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/partitioning-p1.xml
it is suggested to copy the contents of home in single user
mode to be sure there are no open files, i'm considering
copying the /usr directory after booting with
the live-cd.

Thank you all for your help !
Matthias
