    Description

      We ran into an issue today where the sysadmins wanted to put /tmp on its own mount and set the "noexec" mount flag as a security measure. This is incompatible with the CloudStack KVM agent, because it stores JNA tmp files here and Java is unable to map into these objects. To get around this we moved the agent's temp dir to live with the agent files, which seems like a reasonable thing to do regardless of whether you're trying to secure /tmp.
