You can't. You have not control over that machine you don't even exactly
know that test has failed because of full /tmp/ - all you got is a bug
report that can't be reproduced on your machine.

It is not that simple already and it can get damn complicated once you
get to something like network I/O

I know, incidentally the hhvm team has had the same problem two weeks ago. They fixed it (wthout removing file I/O from unittests). It's fixable. That's it.

This segment started with your claim that unittests should do no file I/O because they may fail with a full /tmp/. I disagree with that, and with framing the full /tmp/ problem as a problem with the unittests doing file I/O.
