Re: Kernel 2.4.18-XFS

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...)
