I'm trying to rationalise space by moving my /var directory from its
own partition to /, as currently there's a lot of wastage. I've copied
/var to /newvar with rsync, and now want to mount /newvar as /var on
reboot by creating an entry in /etc/fstab. This is it (using /var-tst
for testing):
/newvar /var-tst ext4 loop
0 0
but I'm getting:
mount: /var-tst: failed to setup loop device for /newvar.
/var-tst exists, so that's the problem? The man page for mount states
that it will create the necessary /dev loopback device if it isn't
specified. Currently there are no loopback devices in the system, and
the loop kernel module is loaded.
poc
PS Suggestions on how to move /var without all this jiggery-pokery are
also welcome.
