Ending this one. On an Ubuntu system /var/run is a link to /run . That
link was missing on my system.
But WHYYYY var things go into /var Not the root partition FFS.
' speaking as someone who builds HPC clusters. You might just have an NFS
mounted root partition, which is identical for thousands of compute nodes.
You might liek to have yiur /var as a local tmpfs in RAM, on a local
storage device, or as a uniqeuly named writeable NFS share on the
provisioning node.
Why in the heck assume that VARiable things should go elsewhere than VAR
