I'm running Haystack + Whoosh under a Debian vserver setup with only 128MB for the /tmp directory and am running out of space in it during indexing (the individual Whoosh tmp files are 25MB+). I'd love to increase the tmp folder size, but that's out of my control.
Is there a way to instruct Haystack or Whoosh to use an alternate tmp directory? (Or...is there a way to simply change the tmp directory used by the OS without having access to the vserver equivalent of /etc/fstab?)
