I'll summarize a number of issues.  First, terminology.  You mean the
root file system, not "in root".  That confused me at first.

This would suggest that you have used up nearly 8 GB of storage for
your panorama.  That seems excessive.  Is it really that big?

Agreed entirely.  And it is, at least in the version I'm using
(2016.2.0 RC1).  Go to preferences/file names and it's at the top of
the window.  A good setting would be /var/tmp, assuming that it's on
an appropriate disk.

Linux does have updates, and for security's sake you should install
them.

My (not quite up-to-date) Ubuntu has the /tmp directory in the root
file system.  /var/tmp is there too.  Looking at a recent Debian
system, I see:

  $ df /tmp /var/tmp
  Filesystem          1M-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
  /dev/mapper/sys-tmp      4566    13      4299   1% /tmp
  /dev/mapper/sys-var     46803 21771     22633  50% /var

In other words, they're both in their own file system.
