Hi, Using Ubuntu Server 9.10.
Thanks for all the suggestions on moving my /var to another disk last week. I went with a new LV and moved /var to it. Then set the partition to mount as /var in fstab. However, I got errors with /var/lock and /var/run not existing when booting. I googled it and found they have to be on the root partition so created a directory 'var' under '/' and copied 'run' and 'lock' directories back to this new var. Now when booting I get: mount: mount point /dev/.var/run does not exist montall: mount /var/run [700] terminated with status 32 and mount: mount point /dev/.var/lock does not exist mountall: mount /var/lock [700] terminated with status 32 So I'm getting a bit lost here - am I not really allowed to move /var at all under Ubuntu or have I missed off some important steps in the move? Maybe I'd be better off re-installing setting /var to new partition from the beginning (although then I don't learn why it is screwed up but it might at least work)? Thanks for any insight you can provide me. Regards, Bryce Stenberg.
