[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-5064) Document avoiding using `/tmp` as agent’s work directory in production

["Greg Mann (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15231295#comment-15231295 ] 

Greg Mann commented on MESOS-5064:
----------------------------------

After discussing a bit more with Jie, Joris, and BenM, we're going to change the agent's {{--work_dir}} flag to have no default value, but remain a required field. This means that running the agent binary without specifying {{--work_dir}} will fail. While this may break some deployments, we think this is acceptable since it's quite unadvisable to be running in production with the default agent work directory; best to fail hard now and force users to specify a suitable directory that is accessible on their system. I'll send an email out to the dev/user lists announcing this plan.
