As you see in $subject, we are looking for something that is invoking
libgustfs, could vdsm or imageio be doing that?
ovirt-imagio does not invoke any external program.
Vdsm tests invoke virt-alignment-scan but not in a way that can leave
anything around:
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-alignment-scan --help
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-alignment-scan --add no-such-file
I don't know about other tests using libguestfs.
But how a program running inside mock chroot can access host's /var/tmp?
