Since upgrading all at once is limited by the amount of disk space
available in /var/cache/yum you might try to do incremental updates
starting with glibc and allowing it to pull in deps for the lib.
Afterward you might update certain packages in a certain alphabet like
yum -y upgrade "[a-d]*" and similar ranging.
You could make /var/cache/yum a larger drive depending on how your
partitions are setup. The incremental upgrade is the best approach. Also
upgrading in a real virtual terminal rather than a terminal within the
GUI is safer. If X crashes during a major upgrade you are i for a real
mess cleaning up the system.

/etc/auto.usb on /mnt/usb type autofs

So technically the / filesystem is running from local RAM and all the
various pieces are mounted via mount points.
IIRC, I was able to upgrade this way from FC6 to FC7 without any issues.

FC7 to FC8 Upgrade - fc8 needs 8KB ?
Using the incremental approach seems to be working. I've doing glibc,
now a*, working my way up.
Thanks,

FC7 to FC8 Upgrade - fc8 needs 8KB ?
Jim,
I followed your suggestion and did updates in small chucks. I had to
dance around the updating of 'f*'. I have it boiled down to just one
more update, that being 'filesystem'. Is this just a coincidence that
updating "filesystem" needs 8kb on / filesystem? I don't think this is
a disk space issue, as I did many large multi-megabyte updates in
various chunks.
Attempting to delete and reinstall filesystem would be ugly as it
involves 1000+ packages.

you might want to install the source rpm and look at the spec file to
see what scripts run because you might be able to upgrade the package
using '--noscripts' option

I did an rpm -ql filesystem |less and there were listings way in excess
of other packages I queried in the past. So apparently filesystem is
actually ensuring the / partition has enough space. I never used ramfs
for the initial / filesystem or nfs mounted system partitions.
As the only idea I would have for installing filesystem which is a
fairly small package, I would try to install it without all the nfs
mounts. Since I am not familiar at all with the system you have and
reading your earlier posting which contained all of the volume mounting
distributions, it overwhelmed me in its complexity.
This is an interesting problem caused by such a small package. That does
not help you out much though in resolution. Somehow / has to be
increased by at least 8kb, if emptying /tmp, not mounting volumes or
entering single user mode will help is only guesswork.
