Summary - Ubus: not creating needed /var/run directory

Operating System - All
Severity - Medium
Priority - Very Low

Details - /sbin/init create /tmp/run directory.
ubus uses /var/run directory that’s normally linked to /tmp aka /tmp/run and starts up.

If by accident /var is deleted and the router is rebooted the system hangs forever.
It does not help to create an empty /var directory /var/run is not created by ubus.

Console shows: “procd - early -” and afterwards “procd - ubus -”
The needed directories are created later inside “/etc/rc.d/S10boot” aka “/etc/init.d/boot”
