Hello,
Thank you very much for your advice.
I will do it after I will have backed up the machine, ie when I will
have some quiet sometime
Did you test your suggestion?
Thank.

the problem is that the update to fedora 17 failed (probably) because the

partitions need to be on the same partition!
Fedora 17+ supports a separate /usr just fine. It's the separate
/usr/lib that's screwing it up. (I suspect the upgrade process isn't
mounting /usr/lib.) Since this is not a common configuration, you'll
need to do a little extra work to accomplish an upgrade.
You need to instruct dracut to mount the necessary partitions during
early boot. To do so, create a file /etc/fstab.sys and copy the lines
for /, /usr, and /usr/lib from /etc/fstab to it. Then, create a file
/etc/dracut.conf.d/02-fstab-sys.conf with this line:
add_dracutmodules += " fstab-sys "
(Note that spaces inside the quotation marks; they are necessary.)
You can then follow the yum upgrade instructions here to update to Fedora 17:
