Hi Steve, I'm not sure I understand your situation entirely but the short version is: yum cache and dnf cache are two separate things so they do not interfere with each other. May I ask what 25G file do you have on fs that needs updating? I have never seen rpms of such size and quite frankly I was under the impression that it wasn't even possible to build them using rpm until recently.
