Description of the issue (ideally so that others can reproduce it):
Usingexport TMPDIR="/var"does not work any more in the current Git version of ReaR. It was working in 2.6 / 2020-06-17 (on RHEL7.9). The mktemp always uses/tmpinstead. A later check of ReaR in theBUILD_DIRfails due a hardened (noexec)/tmpdirectory or ReaR errors out due to "no space left on device". -
Workaround, if any:
If Your login shell is NOT bash than change tobashand type `export TMP="/var" before manually executing ReaR in that shell. -
Attachments, as applicable ("rear -D mkrescue/mkbackup/recover" debug log files):
Pre-req is: Same/etc/rear/site.conffor both tests:- rear-RHEL7.log with 2.6 / Git => not working
- rear-RHEL7.log with 2.6 / 2020-06-17 ) => working
