[dm-devel] [PATCH 03/18] multipathd: use /run instead of /var/run

[Benjamin Marzinski]

/var/run is usually a symlink to /run.  If /var is on a separate
filesytem, when multipathd starts up, it might end up writing to
/var/run before the /var filesytem is mounted and thus not have
its pidfile accessible at /var/run afterwards.  /run is a tmpfs and
should always be available before multipathd is started, so
multipath should just write there directly, instead of through the
symlink.
