that's not the problem you had. The problem you had was 'yum update'
which is != home dir
I understand that. But if you look back at my df -h, my home dir is
100% full. Why ? It wouldn't let me create a test text file.
Just to be sure we understand each other, the yum stuff would have been
saved in the overlay, right ?
