--- Comment #1 from Sam Kottler s@shk.io --- This really isn't a bug, I'd suggest you take it up with the upstream docker maintainers. IMHO, /tmp (or, as you point out /var/tmp) is the best place for the temporary images and if you need to create very large images then you need to have enough space in the temporary directory.
But your machine running out of space because of a large image isn't a bug.
