LXD fails to start due to missing directory /var/log/lxd. If I create /var/log/lxd directory by hand, LXD starts succesfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-emulation/lxd 2. systemctl start lxd Actual Results: LXD fails to start (systemctl start lxd command appears to hang). Upon looking at output from journalctl -u lxd command, LXD fails to start due to missing directory. Output: Oct 10 09:47:30 hostname systemd[1]: Starting LXD - main daemon... Oct 10 09:47:30 hostname lxd[125305]: Error: Log file path doesn't exist: /var/log/lxd Oct 10 09:47:30 hostname systemd[1]: lxd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Expected Results: A running LXD. Adding a line keepdir /var/log/lxd should easily fix this (I've looked at LXC's ebuild as an example, it has a keepdir line that seem to create /var/log/lxc directory).
I created https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/22535 that fixes this.

And just to kind of remind myself / anyone else why this bug is still open: This should be controlled via the init.d/service files and not the ebuild itself.
