Bug Description

Been seeing errors about too many links in TMPDIR pile up.

There's no way for jenkins to know what side effects may occur from jobs that it runs, including files that are left in /tmp. The glance unit tests do leave lots of files in /tmp and they should be removed after the tests run. That's a bug in glance.

Since for the moment, we can't count on glance to do that, we've started working on bug 925774 to clean up /tmp based on file modification times.

However, glance really should clean up temp files from unit test runs (for developer machines as well), so I'm reassigning this bug to glance.

summary: - glance-gate-python26 job apparently not cleaning up TMPDIR enough...
+ glance unit test runs leave files in /tmp
no longer affects: openstack-ci
