What I am proposing is that you:
  • create a 'template' directory let us call it /Template
  • copy the /var contents to that directory, for example: # rsync -aviH /var/ /Template. Please note that the trailing "/" of /var/ is critical.

    EDIT: As pointed out by IdOp this is wrong, it should be:
    # rsync -aviH /var /Template


    You will now have a /Template/var with a clone of /var
  • create a directory for testing the mount: # mdir /monkey
  • edit your /etc/fstab to:
    Code:
    swap /monkey mfs rw,noexec,nosuid,-P=Template/var,s=80000 0 0
  • make an offering to Puffy and reboot
If I did not make a mistake you will now have the /var contents in /monkey.

I have to go out now, I could only test the rsync part ....
Good luck
