Hi,
how can I prevent files/directories like /var/run/mariadb from being
deleted on reboot? Lighttpd has the same problem.
This breaks services and makes servers non-restartable by anyone else
but the administrator who needs to re-create the needed files and
directories every time and has to figure out what selinux labels they
need. This causes unnecessary downtimes.
This is entirely inacceptable. This totally sucks.
What did you put in there that causes such issues in the first place?
There shouldn't be a thing in that directory except the PID of the
running process. It stands to reason that would be emptied on restart
since the service would be shutdown cleanly (usually) before rebooting.
If you've got stuff in there that a) you need to keep across reboots
and/or b) data that requires root access, you're simply not doing it
right. Might I suggest reading up on how CentOS/RHEL's directory
structure and what should go where? It seems to me you're trying to put
a square peg in a round hole and getting frustrated because it won't fit.
