Wow, this thread has just made me realized that there was a run directory in root dir. I have always though that pid files were supposed to go in /var/run by convention.

I'm probably late in the news but can someone explain rationales behind that?

I'm guessing that it is to avoid problems with /var being a mounted fs and make sure that pidfile dir is always there by putting it in the rootfs.

but then, isn't it a bit awkward considering the recent change to deprecate /bin /lib and /sbin??
