The exact problem is yum can't get a lock on the meta data db in an nfs root. I have browsed the yum list and seen the same problems and no fix for it yet or really mention of even if it could be fixed.
Tried locking and no locking for the nfs root. I've seen reports that this was a UDP problem but it persists UDP or TCP does not matter. I wanted Plague to run on a total nfs file root so multiple machines could have access at once to transfer files needed (grid style). Whats needed to fix this issue. Yum should be able to work on any file system even cifs local or not. Perhaps this issue is sqlite? Is the whole table getting locked or the row? I do not mean to sound like a grip but I love to see it work over nfs. If your willing to backport fixes for his I am willing to do the testing. Perhaps I am trying to bang yum into something it is not.
