https://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=459 On environments with tons of NFS mounts, something that Linux is doing more and more, some of those mounts might be hung. rpm itself fails to install packages on such systems, as it can't get passed the stat that it tries to perform on each mounted filesystem. rpm's "--ignoresize" argument is a life saver in these cases, as it skips the stat. I'd rather risk a filesystem being full for an rpm install/upgrade than have a hung rpm/yum process and open rpm database. Can yum get this option too? I'm thinking it should be a command-line option, and a configurable options in yum.conf Thoughts? -- Joshua Jensen joshua@xxxxxxxx "If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?"
