Hi!
I just tried updating an up-to-date F16 install to F17 according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fed...
# yum --releasever=17 update dracut
tries to update filesystem to 3-2.fc17 which contains the safeguard against running on a non-USRMOVE converted system. So I'm out of luck.
Error:
# ERROR You need to update rpm to handle: # rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem-3-2.fc17.x86_64 # RPM needs to be updated
(Which is actually wrong - RPM is updated - it's just that I wasn't able to do the dracut usrmove step yet ...).
Is this a bug worth filing or am I missing something?

Note: I did install rpm on it's own because doing the "update dracut rpm" failed the same way.
Versions installed:
[root@machine tmp]# rpm -qa rpm dracut rpm-4.9.1.2-14.fc17.x86_64 dracut-013-20.fc16.noarch

Your missing the convertfs section which involves the steps dealing with grub configs and rebooting.

I don't think so. Installing a new dracut is a prerequiste for the convertfs step.
