Boot the rescue disk. Mount the partitions someplace. Dump /old_var to /new_var. Of course, if the /old_var fs is somewhat trash, /new_var won't be much better. I'd be wary of hardware problems with raid controller, cables, or disks. That "IO failure" in your logs isn't what you want to see during fs operations. -- Toby Bluhm Alltech Medical Systems America, Inc.
