/tmp as backup dir is hardcoded

[nashvm]

Hi,

backups go the /tmp hardcoded.
On our systems /tmp is not big enough., so we change it to an other directory.

Question: can you make the “/tmp” backup dir an option or variable?

export TMPDIR=/opt/cloudera/tmp

changes we need to make:
local_path=“/opt/cloudera/tmp/hdfs_tar_files.${current_time}”
hdfs_bc_path=“/opt/cloudera/tmp/backup.${current_time}"

Regards, Hans

Thanks for the report. We will consider making it customizable.

I had exactly the same issue ( /tmp is not big enough), due to 5GB+ CDSW parcel .tar.gz files

Update

• Most of the code now uses a configurable tmp dir (via TMPDIR Env var): 5f516bd
  • ps: I could not find the matching PR, the link in the commit redirects to the issue of the same number
• HowEver .tar.gz processing still happens in /tmp (subdir), due to mktemp logic, see: https://github.com/cloudera/cloudera-scripts-for-log4j/blob/main/cm_cdp_cdh_log4j_jndi_removal.sh#L218
  • So we still have no fix for larger .tar.gz / parcels
