Need help to rebuild my /var tree

neok · 2008-04-26 18:03:36

Hi all,

I tried to resize my /var partition but I seem to have spoiled the permissions of the directories and files under /var. The contents is there so I only need to know the right permissions for the directories and files and how to set them up.

Any suggestions please?

My thanks in advance.

Do a "pacman -S filesystem" and note the reported permission differences. Should fix most things.

Or, even better, list all packages that use /var/; and reinstall those to fix their permissions:

pacman --sync `pacman -Ql | grep '/var/' | cut -d' ' -f1 | sort -u | tr '\n' ' '`

Ah, thank you both very much! Looks like I better have a fresh look at man pacman...
