Message-Id: <20021023220902.7334520a.chip@wiegand.org> Organization: Alternative Operating Systems X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.8.2claws (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd4.7) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just finished installing 4.7 and want to move /var to /usr/var and symlink it, but there is an empty subdirectory called empty (/var/empty). It is not going away when I try to delete the /var directory after moving it to /usr/var. It has permissions like this: dr-xr-xr-x root wheel Seems like I had to do something about a sticky bit, but don't recall and can't find anything in the list archives about this. Can someone remind me? And this time I'll write it down in my notebook. -- Chip W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
