As per downstream glusterfs.spec.in, /var/run/gluster is packaged only with the
glusterfs-server RPM and specifically excluded for non-server RPM packaging. So
any client only RPM install will not have that directory created.

Also, as per Niels comment for his upstream patch on making /var/run/gluster
available, it should have been made available for native client installs as
well ... but its not so in downstream packaging.

I'll have to move the directory packaging in downstream RPMs to a common RPM
like the primary package 'glusterfs'.

Is this acceptable?

Yes, that should be acceptable. Please make sure to file a bug+patch for this
in upstream as well if the problem exists there still.
