Subject: [PATCH] v2v: Allow large temporary directory to be set on a global
basis.
Previously we placed large files in g#get_cachedir () (usually
/var/tmp). However the problem is this ties the libguestfs appliance
and the virt-v2v overlay files to the same location.
When virt-v2v is run in a container, or any other situation where
local storage is limited, it's helpful to be able to put the overlay
files on an externally mounted PVC, which might be using NFS and
shared between containers. But putting the libguestfs appliance on
NFS in a shared location is certainly not recommended.
This allows the two locations to be set separately:
VIRT_V2V_TMPDIR - location of large temporary files, can use NFS
and may be shared
LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR - location of libguestfs appliance
Another motivation for this patch is to allow more reliable cleanup of
large temporary files by an external process, as described in the
updated documentation.
Small temporary files are placed in $TMPDIR (usually /tmp). I cleaned
up some existing code which used /var/tmp for small temporaries.
(cherry picked from commit 717b808bc5cb632778973eb000600e87eaf5c31a)
