Morning
I have a yum bug. I built a cluster based on Fedora Core 2 and thought
I might try to use yum to manage my cluster image. I have a 4GB file
system image which I install across all my cluster nodes. This image
is mounted on the server via a loop back device. I am trying to use
yum from the server to manage the cluster image. It crashes... oh, to
complicate things further, my server is x86 and the nodes are x86_64.
[root@node0 ~]$ mount -o loop /opt/ftp/node.img /mnt/node
[root@node0 ~]$ yum --installroot=/mnt/node check-update
Unable to find pid

Hope this helps
Stu.
