Comments
Please note that MyIT SB 3.3 seems to need nearly 20GB of space in /tmp and it is not currently possible to change the tmp dir location. I ended up creating a symbolic link from another partition to /tmp.
This requirement should be added to the docs.
These requirements are explicitly described in Example options.txt file, as this is closer to where the user should be looking at it. Should this note be included elsewhere as well?
Good news! The Patch 1 release removes the /tmp folder space requirement! I am updating the official documentation to detail this.
