Re: [ovirt-users] change tmp directory when importing VMs

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.
