----------------------------------
Summary: Add requirement in upgrade.md and getting-started.md for
agent '--runtime_dir' in when running as non-root
Key: MESOS-6312
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6312
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Kevin Klues
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.1.0
We recently introduced a new agent flag for {{--runtime_dir}}. Unlike the
{{--work_dir}}, this directory is designed to hold the state of a running agent
between subsequent agent-restarts (but not across host reboots).
By default, this flag is set to {{/var/run/mesos}} since this is a {{tempfs}}
on linux that gets automatically cleaned up on reboot. However, on most systems
{{/var/run/mesos}} is only writable by root, causing problems when launching an
agent as non-root and not pointing {{--runtime_dir}} to a different location.
We need to call this out in the upgrade.md and getting-started.md docs so that
people know they may need to set this going forward.
