Re: Patch 1300 & rpm issue with 1.3.0

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sgi.com>]

Simon - the RH9 kernels, where we turned O_DIRECT back on -only- for
xfs, together with the nptl patches in the RH9 kernel, seems to cause
problems with RPM - even if the RPM db is not on xfs.

FWIW, the other solution seems to be to get the latest RPMs from rpm.org
(4.2.x) which turn off O_DIRECT in the rpm source.

I still don't know what the underlying problem actually is.
