| 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
