Well i don't think it needs to be possible to whipe /var without breaking the system. That's what /tmp is for.
For me /var contains variable data genereated by programms and daemons. That's stuff like caches, spools or stateinfos. Data created by programms (mostly daemons but also normal apps). That excludes handwritten data like /var/www (especially data which gets only altered by the user and is never being changed by the application or daemon directly) but i won't warm up that topic again. :-) On Wed, Nov 12, 2003 at 01:37:41PM +0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Wed, Nov 12, 2003 at 01:23:27PM +0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The FHS 2.3 will be released soon.
