rsyslog and sshd don't start after mounting /var in a new disk
Issue
-
sshd does not start with selinux in enforcing mode.
-
A new hard drive was added to the system and mounted /var on it.
Contents of original /var were copied to new /var and after that rsyslog and ssh don't start
#/etc/init.d/rsyslog start
Starting system registry manager: Can't open or create /var/run/syslogd.pid
Can't write pid.
#/etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty/sshd
