But my update procedure is (ALWAYS): ================================================== df -m yum clean df -m yum update xyz* *** 2 or 3 packages at a time df -m yum clean df -m ================================================== On this particular case I also ran command block below (pasted and adapted from /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch ) ================================================== /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 120 /tmp /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 120 /var/tmp for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do if [ -d "$d" ]; then /usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f 120 $d fi done ================================================== And noticed no difference whatsoever under 'df -m' . :(( Thiers
