How much do you want, and where should I put it. It's very busy doing this:

I presume this is the file:

yum     29574 root    5ur  REG              253,0  32847872 36503718 
/var/cache/yum/development.Mirror/primary.sqlite


Could it have corrupted the file? I did run out of space while it was 
running.

It also seemed to have problems downloading the metadata a couple of 
times, I think my rsync might have timed out beforehand.



There is no possibility of it completing, the source repo has been 
updated several times since it started.
