I have a very simple container that I use for building Arch packages, just added it to the Docker Hub so others can use it: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/tazjin/arch-pkgbuild/ It's basically an Arch container that gets updated at image create time and has base-devel installed. When running the

So it seems like the most feasible approach is to boot from CD/USB into rescue mode, mount var into /mnt, copy the contents of the old var folder into the new one, add the new one into fstab and reboot. I guess I should also delete the old var folder. I'll try that in the next few days and report

I'd say copy everything in /var to /mnt. cp -a /var/* /mnt or cp -dpR /var/* /mnt That way you don't lose anything if there's a power cut at an inconvenient time, and you can change ftstab, reboot, and then check everything's working before you hose your original /var (which if you do it thi

Hi, I'm doing a clean install of Arch on a new computer, and during the install I'd already set aside 2GiB for the /var partition. Except I forgot to add it to fstab before I exited chroot, and booted into Arch and installed a DE etc. Now two days later I realize that Arch has already created a /
