I use systemd, which was the one introducing both /run and /run/lock:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-March/001757.html

With systemd, /var/run and /var/lock are bind-mounted to /run and
/run/lock respectively. /run uses in my laptop (regularly suspended,
with an uptime of 25 days) 8.8 megabytes, which I think is basically
nothing for my 4 gigabyte RAM.

After more programs (dracut, plymouth) started using /run and
/run/lock, OpenRC implemented the same functionality; or so I read
somewhere, I haven't used OpenRC in a while. In theory, it should work
the same as with systemd.

Regards.
