</I>
So the latest package should mount /var in the initrd in much the same
way it does with /usr (not exactly the same but I want to make the
changes as unobtrusive as possible and ideally separate from the main
dracut package for convenience of updating).
I presume your setup is such that /var is indeed on a separate partition?
In order to fix this, simply mv the folders out the way and just do the
symlinks manually - it'll mess up the current boot, but a reboot should
fix it.
If the symlinks disappear and are replaced again by folders, then also
make sure you disable mandriva-clean-var-run-lock.service as it
helpfully nukes the symlinks (the update does this but perhaps it's
somehow been run/re-enabled?)
Cheers
