Storage Describe the issue: Storage recommendations are is not consistent and some information is duplicated - pgsql mentions also partition needs to grow, this is also mentioned in the buller of pulp and a third time in the Note below - pulp mentioned 20G per software repo. Below in the table it is mentioed to need 200GB for RHEL5/6/7. What is a "software repo"? 20 -> 200 is a factor 10. This is not explained. Suggestions for improvement: - Align the content on usage of /var - Is it not better to recommend to have the pulp, mongodb, log, pgsql on a different LV to make sure that the database integrity is kept once the pulp of log goes full? - Provide better calculation schema for the Storage sizing: - Define with is a Software Repo - How many Software Repos are included in - Include de-duplication factor of the shared RPM content directory, e.g. sync 6.5,6.6 and 6Server has a good de-duplication.
