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
