I'm coming in on this thread late, so I hope I'm not missing
something...
You'll either need to shut a bunch of daemons down, or just boot into
single user mode to unmount /var. A bunch of daemons use /var and
will keep the fs busy.
To boot into single user mode, type "linux single" at the lilo prompt
(replace "linux" with whatever image you usually boot).
Hope this helps,
Ben
