Then you did the copy wrong. Use tar for it, one source partition at a
time. Like this:

(let /usr be on it's own partition)

	cd /usr
	tar cpf - --numeric-owner --one-file-system | \
		(cd /mnt/new/usr && tar xpf - --numeric-owner; )

With a bit of luck, newer fileutils managed to get the device nodes
right whilst you've not given appropriate parameters to 'cp'?!

Seems you try to mount an unclean ext3 filesystem with ext2 drivers...

That seems to be an ext2 <-> ext3 problem...
