Mount another drive somewhere temporary, copy the contents of /var to it, then unmount /var and mount the new drive on /var.

Use a suitable filesystem, or the flash memory will die very quickly, especially if you put /var on it. --=20 Neil Bothwick New Intel opcode #007 PUKE: Put unmeaningful keywords everywhere --Sig_/8TsNzMWNVCYwwookd_Fwu2B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHl86dum4al0N1GQMRAjThAKDQPN8vSAY2/5Nk0wOgr3BWe+oJ8ACdGWVs gnKOXi3I4Bnqp72rWQml7X0= =vbn6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/8TsNzMWNVCYwwookd_Fwu2B-- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
