Description Petr Muller 2012-11-23 08:53:36 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #872507 +++

Description of problem:

Beakerlib uses /tmp for various metadata. /tmp can be backed by tmpfs filesystem. Basically, it means that /tmp is cleared after reboot (ie. whenever a test is using rhts-reboot).

I suggest that /var/tmp should be used rather than /tmp.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. store something to /tmp/ in the test
2. reboot the machine via rhts-reboot in the test
  
Actual results:

Data in /tmp are lost.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 20:32:29 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
