I think it's just the ./supervise/ subdirectories in the service and log
service directories, and the magic files stopit and reboot in
/etc/runit/, but I may miss some.  And there's the ./down file that
runit doesn't touch itself, but external programs my want to.

All files runit needs write access to can be symbolic links pointing to
a ramdisk for example.  They can be dangling symlinks, runit should cope
with this well, if not, I'd consider it a bug.

HTH, Gerrit.
