Hello, upstart (upstart-0.6.6-3.fc15) now includes tmpfiles job (/etc/init/tmpfiles.conf) which looks for /var/{lock,run}/* directories configured via /etc/tmpfiles.d/* files and tries to create them if they don't exist. It allows to switch to upstart without tmpfs on /var/{lock,run} even if some packages were already installed on system with systemd/tmpfs feature. You can also use /var/{lock,run} on tmpfs in similar way as is configured with systemd. You will only need to add following lines to /etc/fstab: tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=755 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=775,gid=54 0 0 Petr -- Petr Lautrbach, Red Hat, Inc. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
