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 at mail /]# mv -f /var/run /var/run.runmove~
mv: cannot move `/var/run' to `/var/run.runmove~': Device or resource busy
[root at mail /]#
right off the bat. Anyone know what the workaround is for this?
Thanks,
