I was reading the document: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_from_EOL_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17 and got to the section: If you have /var on a separate partition, you will have to manually convert "/var/run" and "/var/lock" to a symbolic link. # mv -f /var/run /var/run.runmove~ # ln -sfn ../run /var/run # mv -f /var/lock /var/lock.lockmove~ # ln -sfn ../run/lock /var/lock but when I tried this, I get: [root@mail /]# mv -f /var/run /var/run.runmove~ mv: cannot move `/var/run' to `/var/run.runmove~': Device or resource busy [root@mail /]# right off the bat. Anyone know what the workaround is for this? Thanks, -Philip -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
