> 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.
