After running the mount command above, if you haven't put any data on your new file system, /var will be empty. You will be unable to access the /var part of the old file system since it will be hidden my the new mount. So, you'd have to unmount it before running any useful rsync. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
