Currently we have the following: * /var/run is a symlink (created on boot) to /run. This should be changed in the future so the symlink is shipped with the filesystem package, but we have not figured out the transtion yet. * /run is a tmpfs, so if packages contain files in /var/run or in /run, they will not survive a reboot. They should use the tmpfiles mechanisem which we added for this purpose. * traditionally rc.sysinit deleted the contents of /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp on boot, we have now a simpler and cleaner situation since /var/run and /var/lock are on tmpfs. We did not force /tmp to be on tmpfs as it does not matter from the point of view of early boot. /media is probably going away in the long-run anyway, but does at any rate not have anything to do with boot, so no danger of that being touched. -t
