Description Vincent S. Cojot 2018-09-19 18:20:45 UTC

Description of problem:


Satellite 6.x is too aggressive in removing things on local host:

https://github.com/Katello/katello-client-bootstrap/blob/master/bootstrap.py#L394

Instead of 'yum clean all', it would be sufficient to run:
'yum clean headers metadata dbcache'

The unexpected side effect of having bootstrap do that when you have a shared rpm cache on NFS, is that the first host to run bootstrap wiped the NFS rpms cache on the NFS server.
