The question is, does the system risk some malfunction afterwards or not? As /var should have only temp stuff and journals, I would suppose no, but...I am not sure at all.
No, var has many other files and long term databases. For instance, the rpm database. Break that, your system is garbage. You can no longer do upgrades, add software, remove software. Reinstall. I DID a reinstall. So what part of the directories of the former /var contain ALL necessary files for the virtualization with kvm and quemu? I know were the virtual HDD are, but this will not be all? The rest I could manually eliminate and then copy the /var and then mount it instead.
In that case, I would keep the entire current (new) /var, and only replace (or add) the old virtualisation directory, which is what I originally suggested, by mounting that disk as a subdirectory of /var, not as /var. I'm not familiar with kvm/quemu to know if there are more files and where they are, sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
