Small nuisance with /run/vdev

[onimatrix81]

In /etc/vdev/vdevd.conf I left pidfile to be written to /run/vdev/vdev.pid. As good of a file as any afaik. Whose responsibility however is it to create the directory, because vdevd just errors out if it doesn't exist?

[jaromil]

this is a good behavior across *nix daemons, creating non existing directories may introduce security rirks. It is the responsibility of the caller to create them.

Agreed, I have no problems with initscripts creating directories.

@onimatrix81 The init script should make /run/vdev. Looks like the included init script does not do this; I just pushed a patch to make it do so.

[onimatrix81]

Yeah jcnelson. Heh, I had no idea about that. It was "an issue" when I kept starting vdevd manually. My OpenRC init script does this too as Jaromil abd fbt cleared it out that this was desired behaviour.
