I ended up having to do a bind mount of /var/tmp to get me through the install. Would be nice to be able to specify a custom location. You can affect this via the ansible var he_local_vm_dir_path .

Also both of these make sense. Would you like to open RFE bugs to track these issues? For latter, we had in the past: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037800 Perhaps you can reopen, to show your interest, although the details have changed since then, as we now use ansible (in 4.4, fully. In 4.3, partially).
