This really stinks. I already suffered from this in the past. [1]
I'm currently doing heavy reconfigurations, which means i forget to
cleanly unmount NFS servers or some machines are just down for some
time. This means machines hang whenever i try to install a rpm. Grrr.
Some time, when i have time, i'll look whether it isn't enough when
rpm just looks in the filesystem where it tries to install stuff. Or
is it necessary to stat _all_ mount points to find out on what filesystem
the data resides ?
(mk)
[1] Oh, well, in my case it finds the file with the mount infos and tries
to access some data. So i do not see this error message, but "NFS
server bla not responding"...
