I did an install and mounted /var/lib before mounting /var. I mounted "/" first and then mounted everything else in device partition order. The install package built my /etc/fstab mounts in the order I defined, rather that the correct order.
I of course feel silly knowing what I know now but, as can be well imagined, I was happy as a clam for several days of system building before I realized my error and fixed it (learning many more lessons about fuser, etc. along the way). My learning will be further enhanced as I now move /var/cache and /var/log to their correct mount points (via single user mode I am guessing. Arrgh!).
I would like to suggest that the /etc/fstab built during install be sorted so that /var appears before /var/log, thereby avoiding similar major system malfunctions between the chair and the keyboard.
I am not a member of the list but will check the archives in a day or two to see the procedure, unless the maintainer is here and will take care of it.
Thank you for helping me get this to the correct maintainer. -- Lyno Sullivan Stillwater, MN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
