So, /var is fine, until you run rpm, and then it goes south?
And you're xfs_repair-ing it after a clean unmount of the filesystem?
Which directories does it complain about, things related to
the rpm db, or is it unrelated parts of /var?
(I have a dead RPM db as well, but as far as I know the underlying
filesystem is fine...)
