Hello, My elasticsearch version is 8.5.3-1 I have a hardened RHEL 8 system which requires that /tmp be mounted with the "noexec" option. I have tried to adjust my jvm.options file in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options to set -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp. I have also created a file in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options.d/all.options with the same verbiage. When I temporarily allow /tmp to be mounted as "exec", and run "ps -ef | grep java.io.tmpdir" , I see -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp . However, when I remount /tmp as "noexec", elasticsearch will not start. Any ideas ? Thank You For Your Help ! ---

Thanks, The unit is not clustered (yet) . I have tried . > **[Ensure JNA temporary directory permits executables | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.6\]...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/executable-jna-tmpdir.html)** No success Thanks For Your Help ! ---

The docs you linked tell you how to solve the problem. Note that they do not say to set `java.io.tmpdir`. ---

Thank You David\< I have done "export ES\_TMPDIR=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp" with no success. All suggestions are appreciated. The java.io.tmpdir was an attempt to force the system to accept another /tmp path since ps -ef | grep java.io.tmpdir was showing a path to /tmp/elasticsearch.... Thank You For Your Help ! ---

Ok, what do you mean by "no success" exactly? Did you see an error message? It's hard to help without more details. ---

```auto [root@server1 kibana]# echo $ES_TMPDIR /usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp [root@server1 kibana]# mount -o remount,noexec /tmp [root@server1 kibana]# systemctl restart elasticsearch ``` Starting Elasticsearch with `systemctl` means it won't see the environment variables set in your shell.

Great, good work! I opened a PR to improve the docs in this area here: > > > Today we suggest that users set \`ES\_TMPDIR\` using \`export\`, which only works if …you're running things directly from the shell. Yet most users encountering \`ES\_TMPDIR\` problems seem to on RHEL and trying to run things via \`systemd\`, for whom the \`export\` suggestion doesn't work. > > This commit adds to the docs a suggestion of how to adjust the \`systemd\` service file to set the appropriate environment variable. > > Relates #80651 ---
