Indeed, ‘cow-store’ bind-mounts /mnt/tmp (or whatever the target mount
point is) to /tmp to make sure we have enough disk space if we need to
build things. This was done in commit
0adabad72d58492f08975af0b6b837ebde32a51b in response to a bug report.
Is it a problem for the installer?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
