yum x RPM x massaging file systems (but which dir ?)

[Thiers Botelho]

Hi all,

Some time ago I sent this to the list:

 http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/msg03916.html

It went by unanswered, and I also didn't myself have any time since then 
for further investigation.

Lately I got the idea that it's RPM, not yum, requiring additional file 
system space.

I suppose that the space required would be used on some work directory 
used by RPM on the update process.

Since this machine is a multi-boot one in a cramped HD, I'd like to find 
out which specific directory would need to be expanded, so that I could 
move it to its own brand-new stretchable n' squeezable filesystem [good 
old Partition Magic to the rescue - ;)  ].

No luck on my googling for which dir would be this one (actually I'm not 
so sure of what to search). Tried 'Maximum RPM' and some other docs on RPM 
and I'm still clueless.

Help anyone ?

Thiers
