I'm finding my /var partition kind of tight, so I thought I'd ease the crush and (avoid fragmentation) by making a new partition for just /var/cache and moving all the stuff in /var/cache over. (Yeah, this is all under LVM, so I could just make the /var partition bigger, but my home and /usr partitions are already splintered a bit as it is.) So I made the new partition and used tar --acls --atime-preserve --numeric-owner --selinux --xattrs -cf cacheball /var/cache and, in /mnt, with the new partition mounted there, tar --acls --atime-preserve --numeric-owner --selinux --xattrs --preserve-permissions --preserve-order xf cacheball /var/cache checked the results, and re-booted. X11 doesn't want to come up, just sits there with the pointer in the middle of the screen. Possibly relevant stuff from /var/log/messages: ------------------------------------- ay 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Client '/org/gnome/SessionManager/Client1' failed to reply before timeout May 5 13:25:42 fed smartd[2414]: smartd received signal 15: Terminated May 5 13:25:42 fed smartd[2414]: smartd is exiting (exit status 0) May 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop': 検索ディレクトリには妥 当なキー・ファイルがありませんでした May 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'gnome-at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop.desktop': 検索ディ レクトリには妥当なキー・ファイルがありませんでした ------------------------------------- Any thoughts? I'm probably going to go ahead and drop the new partition and just expand /var, but I suspect this has to do with selinux, which I've been avoiding learning how to do right.
