When you say you copied the files to the new partitions, do you mean you
used cp? This doesn't preserve the permissions - you should have used tar
instead. I don't know of a fix besides chmod 777 (horrible!) or
reinstalling. At least you still have your /home.

Subject: big problem !
hello all !
i've got a big problem with my new Debian 2.2.
yesterday, i want to add a new 3GB hard disk into my system (P120,
64MB,
3GB) substituting an old 540MB HD (my /tmp). i did it without
problems,
and partitioned it into three primary partitions: 1.- 2GB, 2.- 200MB
3.-
800MB.
i intended de first one to be the new /home with quotas enabled, the
second one the new /var and the third one the new /tmp. i formated
them
and made the changes into fstab. finally i copied the original
directories into the new partitions and rebooted the system and ....
ups
! the system gets locked trying to load the postgreSQL service.
seeing this, i reverted the situation, installing again the old 540
MB
hard disk as /tmp, but the system still gets locked at the same
point.
now my question is ... can anyone tell me why? maybe i made a
mistake at
some point, but i cannot figure where :_(
please i need help about this.
i don't want to bore everybody reading the list with my problem, so
you
can answer directly to my e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] , thank you
very
much.
