Problem When I boot up FC3 logs fail to start It outputs the message: Starting system logger [FAILED] Probable cause: Apt needed a larger /var partition so 1) I rebooted as FC2 2) created a new partition with parted: mkpart logical <start> <end> 3)used mkfs to make it an ext3 partition 4)used e2label to set the label 5)copied the contents of the old /var to the new: rsync -av <source> <dest> Initially I changed the label of the /var partition in fstab to the new label I'd given the new var partition. I've tried changing fstab back to how it was and changing the label of the new /var partition but this had no effect. if I run mount -l I get this for the partition: /dev/hda14 on /var type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [/var] the logger for mysql works fine Could the problem be that I ran rsync under FC2? Thanks in advance for any pointers. David
