Description of problem: Instead of: /var/lock/lvm /var/run/lvm please configure lvm2 to use by default: /run/lock/lvm /run/lvm /run is that it is a read-write dir guaranteed to be available in early boot. The advantage of using /run is that file-based locking will be available all the time, even before /var is available. It should allow us to drop the use of '--sysinit' from the vgchange call in initscripts, making it safer for concurrency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lvm2-2.02.86-5.fc16
currently uses %{_localstatedir} can certainly replace with whatever spec file macros now expand to those new locations and specify them as defaults set by %configure This change won't support package upgrade unless we make the code check both old and new locations, so only apply for new installs i.e. rawhide or not-yet-released distro version - no backports to earlier Fedora vsns.
The change is in rawhide now (lvm2-2.02.96-2.fc18), I'll have a look and make sure everything's ready to close bug #742564 as well...
