But that doesn't mean that everything should be a *persistent* file.
Many types of objects are inherently transient and creating persistent, reboot-resistant names on disk for such objects that may or may not actually exist when accessed is plain stupid. They should be visible as files, but in a special purpose, non persistent directory and only as long as they are actually usable (e.g. as long as some process is actually reading from the FIFO, or listens on a socket).
And since we are at it, why on Earth are IP sockets not represented as files too?

SystemD is now a registered religion in germany. The first churches of SystemD have opened around Frankfurt, paising the book of the holy allmighty Lennart.
First book genesis:
On the first day the allmighty Lennart created SystemD and believe it to be a good thing.
On the second day he sucked in UdevD because he was told by a snake.
On the third day he created more stuff around it than necessary because his followers wanted this.
On the fourth day a religion was born.
On the fith day the book of SystemD was written.
On the sixth day sabbatical.
On the seventh day, people pay to follow the religion.
Though there is Illuvatar, totally pissed off by the current activities swearing revenge!

That used to be the unix philosphy until systemd come and destroyed it all.
At this point I no longer value Linux over Microsoft Windows because that is basically what they made out of it with pulseaudio + systemd.
Our only salvation is Slackware and the BSDs, make sure systemd, shim and their kind never even get a foothold in BSD land EVER!

No disrespect to people who have Down syndrome intended, just a joke.

Originally posted by jacob View PostI never understood why should FIFOs (and local sockets, for that matter) be allowed anywhere in the main filesystem tree. By definition they are transient objects that cannot survive across reboots and shoud have no business living in a storage space designed for persistent objects. The only legitimate place for them IMHO is under /run
