I confirm this is present in 5.3 where /home is an NFS mount, and that I missed it in testing. A workaround is: 1. Boot into single user node. 2. run: /sbin/service network start 3. run: yum -y update filesystem If your system emitted the warning, but did not 'bail', it is safe to retieve the rpm locally, and to run: # rpm -Uvh filesystem*rpm --force as there are no scripts in play: [herrold at centos-5 ~]$ sudo rpm -q --scripts filesystem [herrold at centos-5 ~]$ The cause is the NFS root_squash being in effect when a NFS overmount is on a mountpoint, it seems. /home happens to express it It seems Paul and I are the last two users of NFS mounted /home left. -- Russ herrold
