Comment 1 Milind Changire 2016-01-14 05:21:45 UTC 
As per downstream glusterfs.spec.in, /var/run/gluster is packaged only with the glusterfs-server RPM and specifically excluded for non-server RPM packaging. So any client only RPM install will not have that directory created.

Also, as per Niels comment for his upstream patch on making /var/run/gluster available, it should have been made available for native client installs as well ... but its not so in downstream packaging.

I'll have to move the directory packaging in downstream RPMs to a common RPM like the primary package 'glusterfs'.

Is this acceptable?

Yes, that should be acceptable. Please make sure to file a bug+patch for this in upstream as well if the problem exists there still.
Comment 9 SATHEESARAN 2016-10-25 07:29:54 UTC 
Tested with glusterfs-3.8.4-3.el7 and glusterfs-3.8.4-3.el6

/var/run/gluster directory is created by glusterfs package

# rpm -qf /var/run/gluster/
glusterfs-3.8.4-3.el7.x86_64

# rpm -qf /var/run/gluster
glusterfs-3.8.4-3.el6.x86_64
