The problem is that you've got home mounted under usr. Usr is going to 
have to be redone when you install 6.1 . 

Did you set your disk up according to what was recommended? I got bit in 
the ass one time doing it that way, it took me about a week to 
determine that '/' wasn't big enough. After that, I setup according to 
what I know won't give me a problem if I ever have to do something. 

I think, if it was me, I'd look at some big harddrives and go from 
there.
