Section Number and Name: 
2.1. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Describe the issue: 
Satellite 6.2 uses Squid backend engine to cache RPM files for "On-demand" repositories. It fills up pretty quickly and since by default it's on root folder (/) the outcome is bad - Satellite 6 stops operating properly.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Please document how to setup mountpoint for Squid, provide some info about its sizing and also add configuration for Squid (setting up directory structure for directories - by default the cache is small).

Okay sorry I am closing this, I was wrong. Squid cache is temporary and 10 GB is enough. Pulp then fetches the files into it's own directory and the space can be reclaimed.
