Sadly the fault here is in the FHS, which specifies that those two
directories are under /var -- we need files in both directories to be
able to mount /var, so it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. The
Ubuntu solution is reasonably elegant (bind-mount so that /var/run and
/var/lock are available whether you mount or unmount /var -- but it
means a little bit of extra work to set it up.
A recent fix went in that creates these directories on the root
filesystem on shutdown if they don't already exist, this should solve
95% of the problem since after adding a /var, you'll reboot and it'll
take care of putting in the necessary mount points
** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Fix Released
