Hi Cam, unfortunately there is no direct support for customizing TMPDIR in engine. It can be solved by calling `virt-v2v` indirectly: # cp /usr/bin/virt-v2v /usr/bin/virt-v2v-original # cat > /usr/bin/virt-v2v <<EOF
#!/usr/bin/sh env TMPDIR=/path/to/custom/tmp /usr/bin/virt-v2v-original $@ EOF
This solution will only survive till next virt-v2v update. Jakub ----- Original Message -----

Sorry to reply to my own post, but if the GUI uses virt-v2v, there is a TMPDIR option in there which defaults to /var/tmp, so my guess is that this is what sets it, the only question is: how do I do this for the GUI? I've had a poke around in /etc/ovirt* on the engine host and nodes, but haven't seen it anywhere.

Hi,
I'm importing VMs in ova format, and the size of the disk images (vmdk) is such that it fills up the partition where /var/tmp is located when untarring the ova. Can this be set to somewhere else?
Thanks,
Cam
