Rpm does a statvfs() call on all mount points, to check how much free
space there is in the file systems.  It then compares that with how
much space the package being installed requires in different places.
This is done so there will be less chance of encountering an out of
space condition after it has begun to actually install files into the
filesystem(s).

It would be nice if the rpm command was smarter about which mountpoints
it actually calls statvfs() on.
