Hi Eric,

Can you post some of the error messages here ? 

It may be, all you need to do is fsck the /var or other partitions . 

I'd suggested storing all of your website data in it's own partition, NOT /var, /var is a system level partition. 

Something like /data01/www or whatever, but on it's own partition or disk would be best. If that is not possbile , you could NFS mount a partition on a different machine, and server content from the NFS mount, that way.  

This is a typical scenario done, with multiple web servers able to share/read/write data from a shared filesystem . 

Reply back with some of  the errors , and we'll see what we can do ...

the big muddy imc is attempting to reestablish its web presence. it was on an old pii running redhat. fortunately, the site data was in var. var is a separate drive on our machine. the boot drive is showing various errors and will not boot.
 if you are unfamiliar with the big muddy independent media center, it is a collective that is part of a global network of imc's.  we have been offered server space but need assistance in insuring that our data is functional.

best
eric
