Hi,
how can I prevent files/directories like /var/run/mariadb from being deleted on reboot? Lighttpd has the same problem.
This breaks services and makes servers non-restartable by anyone else but the administrator who needs to re-create the needed files and directories every time and has to figure out what selinux labels they need. This causes unnecessary downtimes.
This is entirely inacceptable. This totally sucks.
See

how to manage tmpfiles.
Thanks, I´ll look into that. I wouldn´t consider a directory like /var/run/mariadb in any way as only temporary --- and wouldn´t consider directories that are required for the system to work as temporary, either.
Curious, how did you install MariaDB that you have such a problem? The package shipping with CentOS does not create such issue.
I´m using the packages from mariadb.org. The old version that comes in Centos isn´t recommended, and I need features only the newer versions provide.
Lighttpd is from epel, and it has basically the same issue.
