RHEL6 nfs repo not working

[Gareth Allen]

I had a similar issue when trying to create a mirror on a NFS partition.
 The solution was to write the repodata to a non-nfs partition and then
copy the repodata back into the required location. e.g.

rm -rf <mirror_location>/repodata
createrepo -d --outputdir=/tmp -s sha1 <mirror_location>
mv -f /tmp/repodata <mirror_location>/

Regards,
Gareth
