Scott, Can you explain a little bit why Ubuntu has to assume so? I thought it would be just a simple "mkdir -p /var/run" after mounting "/" and before mounting "/var".
I find the need to fix it because such a simple missing directory can cause a lot of problems, yet it isn't very easy to be fixed: 1. mkdir /var-tmp 2. mount --move /var /var-tmp 3. mkdir /var/run 4. mount --move /var/tmp /var 5. rmdir /var-tmp I thought it is nice to have if we can remove such an assumption without much hassles. -- missing /var/run in root partition fails many services https://launchpad.net/bugs/51452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
