If I may, I'd like to contend that this is not a duplicate of bug #536940. That ticket is about having a --tmpfs flag that will allow us to indicate that we wish the VM to be built in a tmpfs. That ticket is also marked as a wishlist item. This ticket is about having a flag that allows us to specify a path at which we would like the VM to be built. The -t flag can be used to build in tmpfs, but it can also be used to build in /home or wherever else I would like. What if my system had a small /tmp partition, but I had space somewhere else? Also, this flag should be a good bit simpler to implement that --tmpfs. Can we please have both flags? If not, I'd prefer this one over --tmpfs, personally. Thank you for your consideration!
