System stops because /var/log not found after moving to new partition

Hi !

I have a Red Hat 8.0 on a intel 2.4 machine with 512 MB .

I have kernel 2.4.20-30.8-legacy & 2.4.20-30.8-legacy bigmem.

I used to have all my directories /var , /tmp , /usr , /home under one
partition / .

Thanks to everybody , now I was able to re-partition my drive into extended
drives (drives < 4) and move my /var , /tmp into hda5 & ,my /usr , /home
into /hda6 .


Bu I am facing one problem.

When I boot my system logger does not see the /var/log which has been moved
to the new location  .

The system just hangs .

When I boot in single mode by passing an argument to my kernel that does
show in the dmesg in the new location .

In addtion when I run a command like 'clear ' it shows that it could not
find the library to run it .


I have mounted hda5 & hda6 in my fstab .

I did create soft link for my new var  , new tmp & new usr to the the /var ,
/tmp , /usr as ffs :-

ln -s /mnt/hda5/var  /var
ln -s /mnt/hda5/tmp /tmp

ln -s /mnt/hda6/usr /usr

I moved the old files using the ff commands:-

cd source directory

cp -ax * /mnt/usr5/var

or

cd /src/dir ; tar cf - . | (cd /dest/dir && tar xvf - )




But still it does not work .

Please find attached the dmesg & library error and fstab.

Please advice.

Thank you for your help in advance.

bj
