Re: [arch-general] /var lost, how "reinstal" Archlinux?

In a slim install, you're unlikely to have lost much due to the nature of /var (only variable data, aka no "installed files"). If you had a database on disk you did lose that, eg postgres. Also firewall rules and all logs. Try pacman -Ql | grep /var to see what owns stuff in there. J. Leclanche On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 10:22 AM, Marek Otahal wrote:

Hello,

I've lost content of /var, other partitions are ok, so system somewhat boots up (to recovery mode). What is the less pain method to get it again up and running? The problem I see are pacman list of installed packages? Any other notes on what important things could be missing?

Thank you very much for any help, Mark
