Description Steve Grubb 2006-10-30 13:29:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Found my /var partition 100% full and saw 2Gb of cache. So, I did a "yum clean
all" and got a traceback:

[root var]# yum clean all
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?
    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 91, in main
    base.doLock(YUM_PID_FILE)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 538, in doLock
    while not self._lock(lockfile, mypid, 0644):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 583, in _lock
    os.write(fd, contents)
OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.0-6

How reproducible:
everytime
