ConsoleKit maintains a database at # ls -l /var/run/ConsoleKit/database -rw------- 1 root root 1804 2008-02-14 10:11 /var/run/ConsoleKit/database Some people have complained that the disks are spun up whenever they switch VT's. If we mount a tmpfs on /var/run/ConsoleKit we wouldn't have this problem. Thoughts?
Hm. Might make more sense to do it for all of /var/run.
(In reply to comment #1) > Hm. Might make more sense to do it for all of /var/run. Thought about it but it's a bit tricky. Just mounting /var/run on tmpfs and mkdir'ing the existing directories isn't going to work - what happens if you install a new package? However, going through all directories in /var/run/* and mounting a tmpfs on each of them would work. It's a lot of mounts though; not sure it's going to work; isn't the a substantial per-tmpfs cost?
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
is this problem happening yet? give us feedback. Thanks -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This really doesn't need triaging - thanks!
And commenting once more to satisfy the needinfo police.
It would be a really nice feature to keep /var/lock and /var/run neat and tidy, but you would not only have to tweak tmpfs to copy the contents of the shadowed directories on startup but also to allow rpm to update the shadowed directories (which you cannot unmount for that update because then the lockfiles and PID files become unavailable for that time) and the tmpfs copy at the same time. Sounds like more work than fun, and to add to that, in a very sensitive area.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fixed in rawhide with systemd. (Yes, lame, I know.)
