Well, it happened. I installed a little firewall with a small drive mounted as /var. It's been used a few times, and squid + squidguard's already built itself a nest on there. The thing booted up today with a HD failure. I cannot spot the drive in CMOS or in Linux, although dmesg does mention the following error: "/dev/hdb a non-IDE drive CHS 1001/16/17" (CHS figures are correct, spotted by the OS long after the BIOS failed to detect the drive.) The box hasn't been around long enough to get backed up. It's only a few days old, and fresh off the bench. How does one rebuild a /var partition? FWIW, it's a RH 6.2 install on a 486x33, 20MB. -jmb ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
