I see that lockedv gets dropped (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212801) but it does not help users that already have it installed.

Comment 1 Franck Bui 2023-07-03 09:40:52 UTC

Ludwig, it seems that /run/lock shouldn't be defined by lockdev.conf.

Maybe it does so for supporting lockdev on systems without systemd but /run/lock is a common location used for other purposes too hence defining it in a "low-level" package, such as filesystem, makes more sense.

systemd currently keeps the definition for historical reasons but I think filesystem makes more sense.

Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2023-07-11 13:29:31 UTC

we can do that once lockdev is dropped. the fact it's in lockdev now comes from an earlier discussion. the submission was just stuck.

Anyway nobody should be using /run/lock really. Those other users are abuse that should use an application specific subdir in /run instead.

Comment 3 Franck Bui 2023-07-12 08:20:08 UTC

lockdev shipping a tmpfiles rule for /run/lock was probably wrong but since this package is in the process of being dropped [1] that should fix the current issue.

Reassigning to Ludwig.

Comment 4 Ludwig Nussel 2023-08-15 11:36:23 UTC

lockdev is gone now
