Yes, I think /run is on tmpfs. Below is from my mtab:

tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,relatime)

Thanks for sharing this overlay. I will check it out.

I thought about this approach. But, a lot of ebuilds have their
startup/shutdown scripts catered for Openrc/systemd. I do not want to
worry about runit support for any new package that I want to use.

Also, I am not convinced/understand the argument about runit's
filesystem heirarchy being superior to gentoo's filesystem heirarchy.

Thanks
Joe
