#3832: Add environment variable to create all temp-files at a user-defined
location (outside the mapsets)
-----------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: sbl | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.0
Component: Default | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: environment variables | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: All |
-----------------------------------+-------------------------
Some Network Attached Storage (NAS) filers with snapshot backup on volume
level do not allow to exclude specific file types or directories to be
excluded from backup.
If GRASS data DB is stored on such a storage system, temporary files can
grow the snapshot file significantly until a point where available space
is used up by backup files (how fast that happens depends on the snapshot
frequency of course, and the time they are preserved).
Currently, it is not possible to redirect all temporary data to other
storage locations. Would be great to have an environment variable that
allows to specify a path (directory) where all temporary data will be
stored.
Might be necessary to make a subdirectory per mapset within that
directory... (Maybe an 8.0 thing?)
