Well, this should have been done for you. Did you already have
run.runmove~ and lock.lockmove~ folders in /var?
If so then I suspect something is killing the symlinks.
I did have this problem initially too because the
mandriva-clean-var-run-lock.service file would actually delete the
symlinks and then some other system (perhaps systemd-tmpfiles) actually
recreated the /var/run and /var/lock folders.
In the latest version of the dracut script I ensured that I disabled
that script by deleting the service file.
Can you double check that rebooting again doesn't "reconvert" the links
back to dirs for /var/run and /var/lock because if so, then there could
be some other "cleaning" config somewhere that I've missed.
Cheers
Col
