I would boot from a live disk and fsck the drive partition that contains 10.3's /var
THEN remove some of the older log files and clean /var/tmp if you have one.
OK Patrick. Here is what I did. Dropped down and booted from the disk to the rescue system. I (again) fsck'd every partition on every disk. All clean. Then I went to the 10.3 fstab and commented out everything except the four partitions for 10.3. That would leave only /10.3, 10.3home. 10.3var, and 10.3tmp. Then I went to 10.3tmp, and 10.3var and cleaned out everything that I thought would help in /10.3var,10.3/var/tmp, and /10.3tmp. Now! these are 10GB dedicated partitions, mind you. They couldn't possibly be full, and, it worked beautifully before I installed 11.0, and 11.0 was installed on a different hard drive. This is crazy! Still getting the LOGD message that it can't log to /var because it is inaccessible. There is one other failure message that I didn't mention before. It is"Failed /10.3/etc/kbd (line 42 locale) So I went there and it says "LOCALE_CHARMAP=lcale charmap". I don't think that has anything to do with this. I also checked out the /etc/group and /etc/passwd for all of the three systems as suggested by Rodney Baker. Didn't see anything remiss there either. I am not sharing the /var partitions.All separate. Soooo...Now what? Any other ideas? That's all I want.ideas and clues.
