I did cpio as explained in other replies to this thread and then

rsync -avl between the /usr and mount point directories and nthen 'diff'ed between them. The diff reports some 'no such files', but they are all symlinks in the destination directory which point to /bin,/sbin and get corrected when the partition gets attached at /usr.
So far so good.Nothing seems to be amiss. Even Nautilus reports exact 
same  number of files and bytes.
But, when I attach the partition at /usr and login in GUI, Gnome gives 
an  error message 'no volume controls/devices were found'. But,then 
sound is  available and kmix shows all the mixer controls. It is only 
the Gnome  volume control applet which fails.Rest all appear to be alright.
I first did all the exercise from within GNOME-Gui and then outside of  
this in root console thinking an open file may not get copied  
correctly.Still the result is same.Any idea as to what could be wrong?
The app thinks your /var/cache/gstreamer*/registry* file is out of date.
Run (as root) "gst-register" and all will be well.
