I think I tracked this down yesterday to the fact that RPM is opening
its files with the O_DIRECT flag and then is trying to create a sparse
file. If I am reading the archives of this mailing list correctly, this
is no longer supported.
I "solved" the problem by rebuilding rpm. It didn't use the O_DIRECT
flag when I rebuilt it and things seemed to work better.
Sure wish I remembered LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 yesterday when I was
banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out...
