Hi,

I am using Fedora-19-Alpha with nilfs2 on /.
While everything worked great with Fedora 17, the updated version of
yum also check for free inodes before executing the transaction:

Transaction check error:
  installing package ..... needs 40 inodes on the / filesystem

Rpm was always supposed to check for sufficient inodes in addition to disk space but that check has been broken for 10+ years. In rpm >= 4.11 it actually does something again, hence the different behavior.

Which is just plain wong in case of nilfs, as it has no inode limit.

What does 'stat -f /' return on that system?

Is there any way to disable that check? diskspacecheck=0 in
/etc/yum.conf didn't help unfortunately :/

Yum's 'diskspacecheck=0' appears to be broken, it wouldn't hurt to file a bug about it. In addition to it being apparently broken, it doesn't even try to enable the inode problem filtering which would be needed in your case.
