(I had posted this message to a thread about moving /var, but I believe there's something else going on.)
I was able to move /var on an SSD to a partition on a RAID, by booting to the a "live" install on a thumbdrive, mounting the old and new partitions, and copying using "cp -vpR (old) (new)".
The system boots, no problem.
However, when I try to log in as my ordinary user:

X Windows started fine for the root user. (Using it right now!)

Digging through /var/log/messages, I also noticed:

Any ideas?
Thanks

P.S. Selinux is set to "disabled." I tried running "restorecon -n -R /var" but nothing returned; I'm not sure if that rules out selinux as the cause, though.

OK, I found a solution, and I'll post it here for others that run into this.
First, became the superuse and ran:
rpm -Va
This produced a nice list of files which were missing or had the wrong mode. To my great surprise, because I thought I'd properly copied over permissions, I found among the output:
.M....... /var
I believe that the "root" of the new partition which is now being mounted as root didn't have the write permissions.
I googled for the proper settings and issued:
chown -R root:root /var
chmod -R 755 /var
There were other problems, but I'll take care of those at my leisure. I can log in as my main user, and there were no errors starting services.
Linear Mode
