'File size limit exceeded' is SIGXFSZ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGXFSZ """ SIGXFSZ is sent to a process when it causes a file to grow larger than the maximum allowed size, as determined by the ulimit system call and shell builtin """ ...so try: "ulimit -f", and if it's not ulimited set it to that. Then try the --rebuilddb again. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
