Rebooting the NFS client fixed it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.11-1.1231_FC4.i686 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot into kernel-2.6.11-1.1231_FC4.i686 2.mount a rawhide-20050409 repository from an NFS server 3.configure yum to use it 4.run yum update, on a box running 20050408's rawhide Additional info:
Is this still happening on the latest rawhide ?
This has long been fixed, I believe. I haven't seen it for a long time.
