Well, the /run/lock directory is there but there is nothing in it on
mine. It does look to me like they would move the files from /var/lock,
or any other lock files, there tho. They appear to be small here since
it takes up so little space.
root@fireball / # du -shc /var/lock/
32K /var/lock/
32K total
root@fireball / #
That would total up to be less than 300K for what is there and /var/lock
on my machine.
I dunno. Just makes sense to me.
