I've just installed 2.2.8 and am trying to move /var to /usr/var. Each time I get to the point of rm -rf /var (from /) but I'm told /var is busy. I've tried as a single user and I've tried killing everything in sight (I didn't use any options so a few processes resisted) but to no avail. I remember when I installed 2.2.6 I had to sneak up behind /var but was able to succeed. Any suggestions, hints, etc.? tif and regards, Greg Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
