I have a POP toaster, and I did a complete backup of /
with tar. (this includes /var/qmail...)
I setup a new FreeBSD 3.2 system, minimal, on another
computer with
differing disks (one small IDE rather than a big
SCSI).

Once the new minimum system boot, I untar my previous
backup...

I reboot after adjusting the fstab, everything seems
to come OK but qmail.
I have this message (on screen during boot, and in the
/var/log/messages):
qmail: xxxxxx alert: cannot start: unable to switch to
queue directory

If I look /var/qmail looks OK to me.

What's wrong ?
What can I do ?
What should I do in the future to avoid this problem
with backed up disks.
(It has to be tar, and can be restored on volumes with
differing size)

Thank you in advance.
Jean-Pierre Dumas

P.S. I did not subscribe to the qmail list, please
