=======
I had F11 installed on a 8GB USB-Flash Drive, F12 installed on the another 16GB USB-Flash Drive and F13 installed in the next 16GB USB-Flash Drive. F11, F12, F13 was booted up as each completely different Fedora version on the same USB port of the same x86_64 Dell Server from three different HP v135w USB-Flash Drives.

$ grep %__dbi_rebuild /usr/lib/rpm/macros
%__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb
grep operation on F13 Hard Disk, F13 USB-Flash Drive, F12 USB-Flash Drive and F11 USB-Flash Drive. It is assumed that the fsync function has already been disabled by default in all the Fedora versions under test as all the four grep operations return the '%__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb' from the /usr/lib/rpm/macros file.
=======
F11 and F12 were measured to give more --stats into the problem, that is, to compare the code changes between F11, F12 and F13 on this specific rpm problem. F11 and F12 have many other USB-Flash Drive problems. Solving one may create another. It may be more appropriate to target all USB-Flash Drive problems from F13 onwards.

Is is possible for me to do an strace on my machine?
If you give the exact instructions to run strace, I will do it.
