Two bug per day.

yum and rpm fail to install packages of the root filesystem is NFS (NFS-Root).
no combination of magic rpm switches seem to overcome the failure...

[root@lxdaq23 ~]# rpm -vh --upgrade --force iputils-20160308-8.el7.x86_64.rpm

And yes, it is true, NFSv3 and NFSv4 do not seem to support xattr required for cap_set_file...

Have the "the world of my laptop" people just obsoleted NFS-Root?!?
