Hi folks,

I have a separate partition for /var/, mounted thusly:

/dev/sdb7 on /var type ext3 (rw,noexec)

I used the standard fc install, specifying the extra partitions I wanted,
which produced the fstab with this entry.

Why is /var/run on a partition that's mounted noexec? That seems
problematic, since I thought /var/run was to be used for temporary
files/scripts, and obviously, scripts wouldn't execute.

Any folklore, history, etc regarding /var/run/ and linux is welcomed.

I have /var and /tmp mounted with noexec and nodev options. No big issues if you have all the updates installed (logrotate as shipped with FC3 didn't work with noexec on /var/tmp I think but that was fixed in an update).
