[yocto] tmp on NFS

Tue Oct 6 18:37:26 PDT 2015

Hi,

Can anybody give a brief history of time on why using an NFS drive for tmp is necessarily a bad thing, and why we have a sanity check for it?  We're doing this without any obvious side effects.

I'm aware of the checks added by changes like this:

patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/61107/

However, I don't see the reasoning/background documented as to exactly what is actually broken when putting tmp on NFS.  Is it time skew, problems with concurrent file access, something else?

Thanks,

Luke
