+description = """for using static disk-content we're using `snapshot`-flag for certain disks and set `TMPDIR` to a VM-specific path.
+
+when started as root, all is ok.
+
+when started as non-root, `getenv(TMPDIR)` in function `get_tmp_filename()` in file `block.c` return `NULL`, because glibc handles `TMPDIR` as `UNSECURE_ENVVAR` (glibc-src: `sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h`)
+
+well, we could compile qemu by ourself, but then we might miss important updates, so maybe this can be solved in main-source?
+
+possible solutions: 
+- additionally look at another var like `QEMU_TMPDIR`, if `getenv("TMPDIR")` results in `NULL`
+- add a global option to qemu like `--tmpdir=...`
+- add a device-specific option like `snapshotdir=...`"""
