Bill, I was running as a user. NOT root.
#cat /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tempfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/lvol1/data /data ext3 defaults 1 2 There maybe a typo in there, I had to copy it from one screen to another. I have a new disk that is used to create the /data directory. I will have my bladeserver os image and other stuff there. It appears I can access /data and its contents. I cannot access /var. How do I figure out what drive has what on it? sda, sdb, etc. Regards, Bruce -----Original Message----- From: Bill McGonigle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 1:48 PM To: Labitt, Bruce Cc: GNHLUG Group Subject: Re: System Recovery On Jul 15, 2008, at 11:01, John Abreau wrote: > It sounds like the filesystem is thoroughly hosed.

We can save the scolding for later, but it would help to know what k3b could have conceivably done. e.g. If you were running as a normal user k3b couldn't have written to your /var partition, under normal circumstances. Also, dump your /etc/fstab up here to verify. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
