Hi,

I got the following errors (I've already moved /var line upper (right
after /home)):

when you mount a new file system to replace /var you will need to pre-populate the contents across.

I usually mount a new file system on /mnt and then use rsync;

  mount -t ext3 /dev/XXXXX /mnt
  rsync -av /var/ /mnt/

the '/'s on the end of the paths are important!

then you can;

  umount /mnt
  mount -t ext3 /dev/XXXXX /var

regards,

Kim
