I have a lot of problems with rpmdb corruption occurring during
(network) installs since around February 2007, and with yum updates
afterwards. I've reported the problem here
<
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230362>.
The problem seems to have gotten worse with the latest rawhide releases
- I think about one of every five attempts to perform an install
succeeds. I'm still somewhat baffled that I appear to be the only
person to be reporting these problems considering how reproducible they
are for me with all kinds of hardware.
I keep a separate /var partition, and recently one of our F7 systems'
/var filesystem got corrupted
<
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305301>. Perhaps the
problems are related.
Anyways, I'm concerned because this is causing me a lot of grief. I'm
just amazed that this doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else. Is
that true?
I added a note to the bug; can you provide me with an image of the
corrupted filesystem, please?
Thanks,
-Eric
