Bug Description
Some tests actively use /tmp directory to create test fixtures, db files, etc (ceilometer for example creates MongoDB database files in /tmp). We could improve tests performance if we'll move /tmp on tmpfs
To post a comment you must log in.
Before doing this, we'll want to characterize the state of /tmp utilization on the current slaves and also reevaluate swap allocation (I generally recommend increasing swap space by the size of any new tmpfs filesystems as a safety net against OOM conditions from excess data written there).
