Comment 2 for bug 1833066

Hmmm... I might be leading you astray there... after I created that file I did get /var/lock/nova but looking into the code, tmpfiles already exists for this under /etc/tmpfiles.d/openstack-nova-compute.conf and is correctly configured.

I also noticed that /var/lock/nova-compute is created, which is also specified in that file.

For me, I noticed after a reboot that cinder failed (due to not waiting for /openstack) and libvirtd had also failed and because libvirtd failed so had nova-compute... I fixed those up at the same time, so I wonder if it was working all along but it was cleaned up when nova-compute was just cleaning up after itself.

I need to dig into this a little more...
