How to fix exception 'Could not create rootDir ' ?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

I see exceptions similar to the following in our Jenkins system log. We are running Jenkins 1.656. I could add this to the issue tracker but wanted to check here first, as I am not sure which component is at fault.

Best regards

David
