That would certainly work, assuming he isn't trying to reclaim the space
that is currently in use by the /u filesystem.

For that matter, if he doesn't care about getting the space back, he can
just copy -vorm /u /u.new. (Unless there are sticky bit issues.)

Then, do what you suggest and unmount /u and edit /etc/default filesys.
(However, I would prefer to do a mkdev fs and remove /u all together so
there is no chance of it getting accidentally remounting and causing a lot
of confusion.)

Then, he can just delete the /u mount point and mv /u.new /u.
