And I had it showed systemd, dbus-daemon, atd, crond, cupsd, avahi-daemon, 
rpcbind, and all sorts of other things having open files in /var/run. Nothing 
was using it as a cwd.

So I'm not sure why that would stop it from being renamed.

You need to boot a live cd or rescue cd in order to do this.

Glitch in Upgrading from EOL Fedora using yum

2013-05-13 Thread Philip A. Prindeville
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
