Is it going to be? > Good points. I've clarified:: """ tmpfiles.d is a service provided by both systemd and upstart in Fedora 15 and later for managing temporary files and directories. In this guideline we mainly concentrate on how it is used to populate /var/run and /var/lock. In Fedora 15 and later, /var/run and /var/lock are tmpfs filesystems. As such, they are created empty on every reboot. For files intended to be placed into those directories, this should normally not pose any problems. For directories, however, we often need to create the directories ahead of time. This is best done using the tmpfiles.d mechanism that both upstart and systemd share. EPEL difference Like Fedora releases older than 15, EL-6 and older does not support tmpfiles.d. """
