You can try to chroot into your root directory/partition using a LiveCD, then reinstall the filesystem package. After you've reinstalled, run mkinitcpio for good measure.

and why did you do that ??

because filesystem update error. I try reinstall force, and rm -rf /var/run /var/lock, still error. So...try remove it and reinstall.

P.S.
everytime filesystem package upgrade, you need manual intervention required. have a good idea do that?

thanks all. it's solved.

i try do that:

reinstall the filesystem package by chroot, and have some prolems

error: could not determine root mount point /
error: not enough free disk space
error: failed to commit transaction (not enough free disk space)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

and do this to solved:

sudo rm /etc/mtab
sudo ln -s /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab

and i recovery /etc/passwd /etc/group ... from *.pacsave *.pacoirg backup files.

reboot, OK, OK, OK, \o/

Please do not remove files without understanding what you are doing. Removing files which are important might screw up your system as you already got a taste of by removing filesystem.

Consider yourself warned.

Yeah, I'm playing with fire at this time, but i learn a lot about chroot.
