><i> 'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 22/07/12 01:12 did gyre and gimble:
</I>>><i> OK, so the packages have now all been uploaded.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> You should see several packages now that you cannot install on Cauldron.
</I>>><i> This is intended behaviour.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Here is how to update your cauldron systems:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 1. Run "urpmi --auto-update" install everything that can be installed.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I should clarify that it is expected that some packages will refuse to
</I>><i> install due to them requireing the new filesystem package and that
</I>><i> package itself requires a converted filesystem before it will install.
</I>><i>
</I>>><i> 2. Ensure that latest dracut is installed. Run "urpmi dracut" to make
</I>>><i> sure (it may have been excluded in the --auto-update if it was in a
</I>>><i> transaction with other packages that could not be installed).
</I>>><i> 3. Ensure that you do not have zapata or dpkg installed (rpm -e zapata;
</I>>><i> rpm -e dpkg)
</I>>><i> 4. Generate a new initrd and include the conversion script: dracut -f
</I>>><i> -a convertfs
</I>><i>
</I>><i> When generating the initrd, make sure you are booted currently on the
</I>><i> latest kernel, or that you adjust the dracut command accordingly.
</I>><i>
</I>>><i> 5. If you have /usr on a separate partition
</I>>><i> - Ensure there is enough free space to hold /bin, /sbin, /lib and
</I>>><i> /lib64 content.
</I>>><i> - If your /usr is mounted readonly, change your /etc/fstab to mount
</I>>><i> it rw.
</I>>><i> 6. Reboot.
</I>>><i> 7. At the bootloader prompt, edit the command line and append: "rw
</I>>><i> rd.convertfs" (without the quotes) to your command line and then boot.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> That should be all that is needed :)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Oh, yeah, after reboot, make sure you complete the rest of the updates :)
</I>
I've clarified these instructions on the wiki:
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:UsrMove#Release_Notes">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:UsrMove#Release_Notes</A>
Feel free to augment them with better info as needed.
