I have heard that the issue with yum/rpm is being worked on in the kernel. For those that to not know the issue is for programs that open a file twice once for readonly and then later for read/write. In the first open the file is on the lower file system. When you open the second time for read/write, Overlay does a COPY/UP which creates a separate file. The program thinks that it has the same file opened twice, but it actually has two different files open.
That is great information. Is there an issue somewhere where we can track the progress of the "fix"?
