Hi Roger! Please do not Cc: me, I read the list.
NB, this reply is maybe too late and useless, but I thought it was better to do that anyway, at least to thank Roger for the time he spent.

What is "broken"? /var/run and /var/lock on tmpfs? I have been using them for quite a while now (at least four years) and everything is now fine (obviously after various bugs about sub-directories not being created by daemons were fixed). And I actually think it is more "standard" than what you believe because AFAIK it is the easiest way to avoid excessive writeouts to any disks, especially on SSDs. FWIW, I started using it long before I moved my everyday sid to an SSD, also because there was an easy way to setup it, i.e. through /etc/default/rcS (and I have also thought about /tmp, see <http://bugs.debian.org/402828>). > If you're using RAMRUN/RAMLOCK, then you'll get the same setup, but > mounted under /run and /run/lock, with compatibility symlinks in place. This is what I wanted to hear, thank you. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
