RE: big problem !



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.

	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 pep@fme.upc.es , thank you
very
	much.
