This is not a problem with rpm. The "work-around" above seemed to have fixed the poor performance, but it was back again after any update. The system was grinding away on lots of I/O. Upon further investigation, I think this was a btrfs bug. The problem does not reproduce since I updated to kernel-2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 from updates-testing. -- Garry Williams -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
