Re: /var lost, how "reinstal" Archlinux?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



In a slim install, you're unlikely to have lost much due to the nature
of /var (only variable data, aka no "installed files"). If you had a
database on disk you did lose that, eg postgres. Also firewall rules
and all logs.

Try pacman -Ql | grep /var to see what owns stuff in there.
