My older openSUSE doesn't have a /run directory. Should this maybe depend on systemd or something else?

/var/run is usually a symlink to /run. If /var is on a separate filesytem, when multipathd starts up, it might end up writing to /var/run before the /var filesytem is mounted and thus not have its pidfile accessible at /var/run afterwards. /run is a tmpfs and should always be available before multipathd is started, so multipath should just write there directly, instead of through the symlink.
