Fix for "can't open /opt/var/run/smbd-ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf.pid: Error was File exists"

README.md

This happens because /opt/var/run is not a tmpfs, and the data is never removed on reboot.

As a workaround, the fs can be mounted as tmpfs on boot before the new Samba is loaded and replaced. Place the S00runtmpfs file attached to this gist in /opt/etc/init.d, run:

chmod a+x /opt/etc/init.d/S00runtmpfs

Reboot your NAS. Profit!
