The other morning I went to my computer and the startup disk was full and the var folder was packed with junk. Like a total idiot, as I was sleepy and not thinking, I deleted the var folder and emptied the trash.
Obviously now the OS doesn't start. It won't let me install over the top of the affected disk and rebuild the installation and I can't use migration assistant. I've tried copying the var folder from a working fresh installation on another disk, but it doesn't seem to help anything.
Any ideas? I *could* just start over with a fresh installation, but that's also a pain as I have loads of tweaks etc to the way I like things running. I'm on Mountain Lion btw
