In the particular case of the qemu-img command described in earlier in this thread, I'm not convinced we need a new option. Instead of using /tmp when extracting a snapshot from an existing disk image, it could just use the path where the source image already resides. ie the existing FLAGS.instances_path directory, which can be assumed to be a suitably large persistent data store. Other uses of temporary files should be analysed ona case by case basis to figure out a suitable storage location. This might perhaps identify a need for a generic temp file location for nova, such as /var/run/nova/ or /var/cache/nova or both (depending on use case).
