fsck problem on /var
- From: James Tappin <sjt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some time back when I upgraded to Gutsy I had to swap over my /var and
/usr/local partitions in order to be able to do the downloads (done by
copying /usr/local to a data disk, then copying /var to the old
/usr/local, modifying /etc/fstab, rebooting and then copying the
archived /usr/local to the new location).
However ever since that time, whenever I reboot the machine it hangs up
complaining that /var has errors and needs to be fsck'ed manually and
wants a root password to do it. If I boot from the live-CD and try to
fsck the /var partition it says it is OK, but when I reboot the system
it still complains.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
James
