Kevin Klues updated MESOS-6312:
-------------------------------
Description:
We recently introduced a new agent flag for {{\-\-runtime_dir}}. Unlike the
{{\-\-work_dir}}, this directory is designed to hold the state of a running
agent between subsequent agent-restarts (but not across host reboots).
By default, this flag is set to {{/var/run/mesos}} since this is a {{tempfs}}
on linux that gets automatically cleaned up on reboot. However, on most systems
{{/var/run/mesos}} is only writable by root, causing problems when launching an
agent as non-root and not pointing {{--runtime_dir}} to a different location.
We need to call this out in the upgrade.md and getting-started.md docs so that
people know they may need to set this going forward.
