I was wondering if there are some objections using TMPFS for /tmp and /var/run. I figured out some problems with some rc.d scripts when using TMPFS for /var/run, samba and OpenLDAP do store some informations like PID in a subfolder of their own in /var/run, but the rc.d scripts are not checking properly the existence of the appropritae folder (unlike "dbus" and "hald", they check properly!).

I already submitted two PRs, but for SAMBA, my "hack" is trivial and obviously to clumsy, so it should be check properly.

My question is whether there are objections using TMPFS for bot /tmp/ and /var/run/ at this stage on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64?

Any rc script that complains about an empty /var/run is buggy- it should be assumed that it will be emptied on boot.

Agreed. We may want a generic way of registering custom mtrees (or something) that creates the hierarchy on boot, by the way.

Currently this has to be done by individual rc.d scripts if they need a separate directory.
