Log from anaconda

I have tried upgrading my F15 to F16 using preupgrade or the DVD but the installer keeps complaining that my root partition wasn't cleanly unmounted when it was. I even fsck'd it after the DVD booted to make sure.

My root partition is /dev/sda2 and sits on an SSD. My /home partition is on /dev/sdb1. I wanted /var as a separate partition but had problems with it so now I have /var as a symlink to /home/var. (This might be the cause of the errors?)

Attached is the anaconda log.

Thanks!

My bug might be a duplicate of bug 749131[0], would appreciate if anyone could confirm/deny.

You can rule out the /var thing by using the updates image referenced in comment #52 of bug 748119.  To figure out if this is a duplicate of 749131, we'd need to see /tmp/storage.log and /tmp/program.log, too.  Thanks.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 10:11:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 08:36:34 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
