You really should not store databases (or any persistent data)
in the container's rootfs.  Use kubernetes PVs, etc., or for
a real pet database, a host volume pinned to a node
with specifically provisioned storage, etc.

Even for transient storage I'd use e.g.
http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/volumes/#emptydir
over just writing into the container's /tmp.

It'd be very helpful to document such things as a faq or best practices.
