Kevin Klues updated MESOS-6312:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
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. When running as non-root 
we set the default to {{os::temp()/mesos/runtime}}.

We should call this out in the CHAGNELOG

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.


> Update CHANGELOG to mention addtion of agent '--runtime_dir' flag.
