</I>Yeah, I don’t see the point of having a separate usr so that one went
smoothly. However, having a separate /var is useful even on a desktop
for me, because of /var/cache/urpmi (I had aptitude fill my / on a
safe-upgrade that ended up not being that safe once so I kinda became
paranoid :p)

</I>That’s what I did indeed, then I could upgrade filesystem, thanks for
the answer ;)

</I>Can’t answer for that, most of the time I never shutdown my laptop, only
pm-suspend.
I should also mention that each try at installing filesystem resulted in
a temporary symlink being created like: lock;50b68005. I assume these
symlinks can safely be removed, just thought I would point that out.
Thanks for your help !
