Description of problem:
The rpm command checks for adequate disk space on installs, however
the addition of a check for sufficient inodes as well caused the
disk space check to be skipped for file systems that report useful
disk space via statfs, but not useful inode counts.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt an rpm install to a fat or vfat file system w/o enough space
2.The install will fail to recognize the disk space problem

	

Actual Results:  One botched install, half finished when it ran out of space.

Expected Results:  I expected an error message instead.

Additional info:

This is particular critical for ia64 systems, which install kernels
to the /boot/efi directory, which is a vfat file system.  Depending
on just how far one gets, one could get a system that the end user
doesn't know how to reboot again, which is why I rated this bug High
severity.
