Re: not able to unmount
how did you _get_ into single user mode? The only _supported_ way is to reboot and then interrupt the boot process and launch the boot loader with the "-is" option - methinks you didn't do this if /usr is mounted.

Re: not able to unmount
What do you want to do?
You should try to boot into maintenance mode (parameter "-lm").
Hope this helps!
