Hi, hopefully someone can help me here ...... P72 of The Complete FreeBSD - 2nd edition says where to put /var and /tmp # mkdir /usr/var # cd /var # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) # cd / # rm -rf /var & # mkdir /usr/tmp # rm -rf /tmp # ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp ..... so ok, this I did (having run out of space in /var) on my 2.2.5 system. Now when I boot various error messages come up relating to no /var being present, example: - syslogged: cannot create /var/run/log:no such file or directory syslogged: child pid 76 exited with return code 1 the same thing happens if I type 'who' at the #prompt who: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory any ideas whats gone wrong? I can still boot and run, and the problems over space have gone so something positive happened. TIA Chris R.
