Description Dennis Gregorovic 2014-11-05 20:47:19 UTC 
sqlite on NFS volumes can be very problematic (i.e. operations that normally take seconds can take hours).  When createrepo_c generates sqlite metadata, please use a temp directory on local disk and then move the end result to the repodata directory.  This would save from having to use --output-dir as a workaround.
Comment 1 Tomas Mlcoch 2014-11-06 13:52:14 UTC 
Good point! I've just added new option --local-sqlite [1].
This option is available since version 1.7.2 which was just built in rawhide [2].
