"/usr" needs to be on the same filesystem as "/". It cannot be on a
separate filesystem / partition anymore.

Then you can install the package "usrmerge" to do the merge.

Do not try to switch to install "usrmerge" package before having /usr be
on filesystem for /.

That is what I know at least.

Meanwhile converted three machines by installing usrmerge package.
