Ok, I tried updating from RHEL5u1 to RHEL5u2 yesterday and failed when /var
filled. Looks like yum used about 450MB of space in /var/cache/yum and still
had not finished downloading all the packages...
Two approaches I have used:
1. link /var/cache/yum to a different filesystem:
rsync -vaz /var/cache/yum /opt/
mv /var/cache/yum /var/cache/oldyum
ln -s /opt/yum /var/cache/
2. upgrade piecemeal; this can be difficult
If you have several systems, it can make sense to share /var/cache/yum
via nfs, exported from a server with enough space.
Otherwise simply mount something else there temporarily, maybe a USB or
firewire disk. My 4 Gbyte SANDISK might do nicely.
And note to allow more space in future.
