You can only do that if you have formatted /usr to be a separate partition in the partition table. If you did not do that during the installation, you can't do it

This is not true. Provided there is enough space on a disk and an unused partition /usr can be moved. A reboot is required, but that is as far as it goes in terms of downtime.
The procedure would be:
make a new filesystem
mount the new filesystem, for exmaple to /mnt
edit vfstab as required
reboot to single user mode
exit and allow the machine to continue the boot sequence.
Once you're happy that everything is ok you can remove /usr.old
your way looks faster and better than the way I did it

Yes, it will work without dump but I don't think there would be too much difference in speed except for the fact that you have an extra copy. We are really doing the same thing, just using different tools.
Also it looks like you never removed the old /usr.

Interesting. Yes I didn't remove old /usr , after the reboot and confirm it work, I remove it usually.
