Hi Wayne, Thank for the reply . You were right. It was my mistake that I rsync /var instead of /var/ . It works now. Only glitch is while starting X it stops at "system logger " for long time , then says failed then it finally boots. One more question I have is it possible to extend /usr which is currently part of root. What I mean is can I just take out /usr and extend it to new hard drive by creating new Volume group etc. Thanks again for your help. You are great.
