Yes. Some examples: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332633 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334245 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334437 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342049 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333783 Basically, if we are going to to do the move to /run, we should have a policy of "/var/run and /var/lock can and will be on tmpfs and init scripts should handle this correctly" or something similar. -- Eray Aslan Developer, Gentoo Linux eras <at> gentoo.org
