no /var/run symlink in centos-7 template

[mmitucha]

Hello

at first I really want to thank you for this perfect product. I discovered Proxmox VE this year and it is the best open-source virtualization platform I have ever worked with.

But the problem:

I am using Centos-7 templates from your repositories, downloaded through Proxmox VE GUI "'storage' - Content - Templates".

Most recent version is 'centos-7-default_20160205_amd64.tar.xz', according to log, the url is 'http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/centos-7-default_20160205_amd64.tar.xz'.

But this version of Centos7 LXC template has inconsistency between '/run' and '/var/run' folders.
'/var/run' folder use to be symlink to '/run' folder, but in this template, they are 2 different folders:

This is output from clear container created from 'centos-7-default_20160205_amd64' template:

lock log mount systemd user utmp
[root@at1ct101 ~]# ls /var/run
console dbus faillock netreport sepermit setrans sshd.pid syslogd.pid utmp​

I discovered it because systemd could not get state of 'zabbix-proxy v3.0.4' service. The is because pid in zabbix-proxy systemd file is pointing to '/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.pid',
but pid in zabbix-proxy config file is pointing to '/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.pid'.

Here are zabbix related threads:

Here is rhel related thread:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130939

Maybe this could be the casue, that during building process it creates the /var/run dir ?

Thank you

I just noticed this problem just now.
How did you solve it?

mv /var/run /var/run_oldy 
cd /var 
ln -sf /run
and the reboot?
