SUMMARY: /var/.. Permission denied after LiveUpgrade

Hi,

thanks every one for reply.

Your /var mountpoint has incorrect permissions.  To fix it, you need to
shutdown and boot single-user from the CD.  Then mount your / partition
and change the permissions of the /var mountpoint to 755.

One trick that might work:

If you have another server, you can NFS-export your root filesystem
to that server (giving it rw,root access), then fix the underlying
mountpoints for /var and /opt via the NFS mount.

so i did:

# share -F nfs -o rw=localhost,root=localhost /
# mount -F nfs nfs://localhost/ /mnt
# ls -ld /mnt/var /mnt/opt
# chmod 755 /mnt/var /mnt/opt
# umount /mnt
# unshareall

and it works:
$ls -ld /var/.. /opt/..
drwxr-xr-x  43 root     root        1536 Nov 18 16:04 /opt/..
drwxr-xr-x  43 root     root        1536 Nov 18 16:04 /var/..

ciao
