Re: [arch-general] [PATCHES] About /var/run/ and /var/lock/ checks in daemons

I interested to make Arch Linux suitable for use with a /var/run and /var/lock that are mounted as tmpfs. But this also helps, in the case that not mounted as tmpfs, to make more simple "purge function" for these directories at rc.sysinit step.

This could also help to run the root filesystem (/) as read-only. I've not tried this with ArchLinux but have done it with Slackware previously. The benefit of a read-only root is you can share it between several network computers or between different resource containers (kind of virtualization). Has anyone tried this. -- damjan
