On page 72 of The Complete FreeBSD book, second edition, several
end-of-installation procedures are recommended. The procedure to move
"/var" is the one giving me the problem. When I enter the commands
listed, the following takes place:
# mkdir /usr/var ( this works )
# cd /var ( this works )
# tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) ( this works )
# cd / ( this works )
# rm -rf /var ( I receive a message "/var Device is busy" )
# ln -s /usr/var /var ( does not work )
Some subsequent operations, including the boot process, display messages
that state the some file in /var cannot be found.
HELP!
Thanks in advance for your help.
