There is one other possibility, that due to the way xfs returns st_blksize 
as 64K by default, you actually filled the root or var partition during
install, could you look in the install log for signs of this. We have found
that some files managed by rpm and email systems are tending to get much
larger than normal. If this was the case then just bumping partition sizes
would be a way out for now.

I did have this very thing happen to me when installing the Ximian gnome
packages on my laptop.

I am looking into making the default behavior closer to ext2 in this area.
