It might be nice, but it isn't going to happen. There's more going on than you might guess, and this is not possible.

Do you have /var on a separate LV or partition? /var, /var/tmp are separate LVs.

Description of problem: After fully updating and fixing a few rpm{new,save} leftovers, I ran preupgrade-cli (Fedora 15 ~~-> 16), it got everything lined up AFAICS (downloaded 1.5 GiB, and finished normally). On reboot, it says "Examining storage devices..." and then exits saying it can't find the root of the installed system. This machine has /dev/sda (SATA disk), with MS-DOS disklabels; /boot is /dev/sda1, the rest lives under LVM (/dev/mapper/vg_laptop15-LogVol??). I do have a few non-standard repos configured, but they gave no trouble. In vt2 of the installer I can see the volumes (lvs shows all of them), but I can't mount them. I tried to mess around with the kernel parameters, but had no luck. Any hints? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): preupgrade-1.1.10-1.fc15.noarch How reproducible: Tried a few times, also reran preupgrade (GUI). Same result. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Still running Fedora 15... Expected results: Additional info: It would be nice to be able to mount stuff and (re)start the update from a VT...
