rpm error: failed to stat /media: Input/output error
Posted by Emerson Takahashi on August 8, 2012
I had a system where the rpm command was very slow after I was trying to upgrade a package
root@rhel5:~ # rpm -Uvh /tmp/kexec-tools-1.102pre-154.el5.x86_64.rpm
error: failed to stat /media: Input/output error

The filesystem /media is a NFS share. The server that was hosting the NFS was down and the rpm command was slow because it tried to stat the filesystem.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
