** [tickets:#2503] osaf: Store lock files under /var/lock to comply with FHS**
**Status:** accepted
**Milestone:** 5.18.12
**Created:** Tue Jun 20, 2017 08:19 AM UTC by Anders Widell

OpenSAF currently creates lock files under /var/lock/subsys, but this is
non-standard.
[FHS](https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html) only
specifies /var/lock, and some Linux distributions like
[Ubuntu](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/en/man7/hier.7.html) don't
have a /var/lock/subsys directory.
Alternatively, get rid of the lock files altogether and rely only on PID files
stored under /run. A PID file should be enough to avoid running more than one
instance of the service concurrently. We can consider making opensafd (NID) a
permanent service that manages all other OpenSAF services which shall be up and
running for as long as OpenSAF is running.
