[bug #13774] Why is updatedb prefering /var/tmp over /tmp for temporary files?

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #13774 (project findutils):

Ok, I see the wisdom in this. Maybe this wisdom could be integrated into the
FHS as well.

The combination of millions of hardlinks with long names created by
storebackup and a not _that_ large /var/ partition where numerous other tasks
where working in led to the problems.

Resolved here by setting TMPDIR to /tmp/ and adding the backups to PRUNEPATH
(storebackup has it's own find tool which works on the filelists which it
maintains anyway).

I consider this issue closed, thanks.
