156	Bad TMPDIR in mindi.conf causes 'mv /* mondo_tmp'	Scott Cummings	Bruno Cornec	"I got a chance to appreciate having a mondo backup (and some practice using it) this way. :)

First, I might have assumed from 'man mindi' that putting a 'TMPDIR' in mindi.conf would be used in mondo, so maybe it should note that mondo supplies it's own tmpdir.  I was just looking around for all ways to put temp files on my bigger disk and not overflow my small disk.  Now, I realize mindi probably doesn't put that many files out there, but wasn't as smart at first. (maybe include an indication in man mindi of the rough size of stuff put in TMPDIR?).

Anyhow, I moved some mountpoints around and forgot to update TMPDIR in mindi.conf.  Then when I ran mondo it reached the running mindi part and things all stopped since /bin and so on were all moved to mondo_tmp.

I have a screen capture of the qemu session where I reproduced this (haven't set up moving files from qemu to main, yet) that I'll see if I can add.

I also wrote a patch - please modify as you see fit.  (I see as I was thinking about it the many ways unintended consequences can creep in here.)"	defect	closed	normal	2.2.9	mindi	2.2.1	minor	fixed
