Errors have been seen in the osgi code when it attempts to create periodic backups of the `.bundlefile` in `${ddf.home}/data/cache/org.eclipse.osgi`.\r\n\r\nWorking on the supposition that pax can explode the exam directly successfully but that on slow boxes the background backup thread may start too soon, this will turn off those periodic backups. They are not necessary for itests; this will have either a positive or neutral effect.\r\n\r\nIt is possible that this is only a symptom of a more basic problem exploding the exam folder in which case this will merely shift the error.\r\n\r\n===\r\nAssuming this passes Bamboo without exam setup failures...I'll re-run the CI build multiple times to increase confidence that this is resolving the problem. If it fails a Bamboo build with exam setup, then this PR will be canceled.\r\n\r\n@kcwire \r\n@lessarderic \r\n@pklinef\n\n<!-- Reviewable:start -->\n[<img src=\"https://reviewable.io/review_button.png\" height=40 alt=\"Review on Reviewable\"/>](https://reviewable.io/reviews/codice/ddf/266)\n<!-- Reviewable:end -->\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codice/ddf/issues/comments/148939050","html_url":"https://github.com/codice/ddf/pull/266#issuecomment-148939050","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codice/ddf/issues/266","id":148939050,"user":{"login":"lessarderic","id":11377558,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11377558?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic","html_url":"https://github.com/lessarderic","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lessarderic/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-17T18:18:20Z","updated_at":"2015-10-17T18:18:20Z","body":"Looks like a good fix for now, but if we are starting to run out of temp space other things will eventually break.
