i know /run is a new cross-distribution location for the storage of transient state files, and /var/run is replaced by /run. but 1, why /var/run still have contents just as the same as /run ? just for
backward compatibilty ?
2, if a program want to write some data to /run, is it supposed to write the same data to /var/run ?
3, it seems /var/run is not a symlink to /run, so /var/run occupy harddisk space, just like /run does?
Bruce, i'm not sitting in front of my machine, but i'm pretty sure it is bind mount. You should be able see that by looking at the output of "mount". A bind mount is similar to a symlink. I don't know the pros/cons of a bind mount vs a symlink. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
