No it's ext3, and the original /var/lib/rpm/Packages files size is just
33M and
failing /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.10789/Packages is 11M
[root@srv]# du -h /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.10789/Packages
11M /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.10789/Packages
[root@srv]# du -h /var/lib/rpm/Packages
33M /var/lib/rpm/Packages
[root@srv]# rpm -qa | wc
487 487 11338
[root@srv]# df -h -l
