When you mount something from fstab, the mount point directory must already exist. Unless something earlier in the bootprocess executed an mkdir to create the mountpoint, it will not exist and your mount will fail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It probably depends for what you use them. I notice that on my sid machine I have /run/lock and /run/user as separate tmpfs mounts under /run (also a tmpfs), so it's definitely possible/allowed.

This feels a lot like the XY > problem. At the moment I am trying to understand how mounts under /run are suppose to work on a Debian 7.0 system using tempfs for /run. Is it a bug that fstab mounts under /run fail? Is there a hook in some other config to make them work? Is it always a bad idea to mount under /run? I would like to understand that. Then I will have more options when I pop the stack and return to Y and my learning won't be sidetracked with a case based only on Y.
