So there is nothing mounted over /var. And what does this produce:

Code:

find /var

That is more or less my problem...

0091173:/ # find /var
find: /var: No such file or directory
0091173:/ #

Strange. There should at least be the mount point even if the fs is missing.

Check the partitions on your local disks: maybe /var got unmounted somehow. If this is the case you could just recreate the mount point and mount it.

To check them list all partitions on your local disks and mount everything not already mounted elsewhere and being of linux fs partition type on a temporary directory.

I hope this helps.

PS: if you find your /var this way have a word with your colleagues: this has not happened all by itself.

Here's another thought. Why are you still on such an ancient operating system? My serious suggestion, for security and stability's sake, is to get onto something less than 10 years old.

What is the output of df -h? If that does not exist, try df -k.
