This is because my /home filesystem is nfs mounted. It seems that the file system rpm, has problems with it. Is this a bug in the filesystem rpm?
The NFS share is not allowing the changing of the permissions for its mount point. An easy workaround would probably be to unmount the share, update the rpm, then re-mount the share Just a question: Why are you trying to update this rpm in the first place? This one just creates the base linux files system hierarchy. This should all be in place already on a running system. Kirk
