Comment 3 for bug 542334

Dear Scott,

I am sorry to inform you that "/var" is a regular directory on the "/" partition.

I can't understand the question "did exiting from this shell fix the issue for you?".
I can't do anything but in the maintenance shell, that is to say I can't do much, since I have no idea of how to boot the system manually.

What test do you suggest to help your diagnosis ?
Do you want me to post some of my configuation files?

Thank you again.
Best regard.
