Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
With a limited amount of storage on a Satellite 6.1 server, it would be good to have a mechanism built in to the sync process which checks available disk space and errors or produces a warning before starting the download.  As the syncs are carried asynchronously, this could be carried out on a per-repo basis?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.1

How reproducible:
Spin up a test Sat6 server with limited storage (/var ~10 Gb perhaps)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install & build Sat6.
2. Enable RHEL5, 6, & 7 Repos
3. Start sync process

Expected results: Once the metadata has been processed there would be (I assume?) a rough idea of how much is to be downloaded per repo.  If this is larger than available in /var/lib/pulp, the produce a warning.
