Do I just mount it over > the existing /usr or is there any additional steps that must be performed? it's quite difficult to understand you (at least for me). what do you mean "expand /usr". do you like to resize the partition. so resize and growfs(8) how do you "format HDD" - todays hard disk are factory formatted and can't be reformatted by user. why do you like to mount it over /usr? you may simply copy all /usr to new partition, and then unmount it and mount new partition to /usr, while reusing old partition for something else. quite difficult to answer your question...
