This seems to have something to do with O_DIRECT not getting turned off
for ext3. in the kernel you tested, we removed the global O_DIRECT disable,
and disabled it at the filesystem level - but only for filesystems which
can even -DO- O_DIRECT. Since ext3 can't do O_DIRECT, I did not disable the
flag in ext3_open_file().
Adding this line:
filp->f_flags &= ~O_DIRECT;
to the top of ext3_open_file() fixes it for a machine where your rpm database
is on ext3.
Knut - What filesystem type is on your root fs?
