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 Nenad Peric 2016-07-19 11:02:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

If there is not enough space to sync things and work with Satellite after it has been installed, (namely / fs) a lot of funny things can happen which are not immediately obvious. 
Unknown errors (Something went wrong) and mongo connection issues can pop up which in turn would cause a lot of issues with Satellite itself. 

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


How reproducible:

Every time you run out of space in /

Steps to Reproduce:

Get the / FS to 100%, stuff just starts breaking but the errors Sat is giving out do not help in determining the real issue. 


Expected results:

Perhaps a feature should be added to the installer which warns the user if the remaining space in / fs is too low for syncing a few ISOs afterwards (say less than 20GB remaining?). 
It should not be a critical error, since the user could potentially allocate more space to / after the installation is complete. 
The default RHEL 7 installation allocates inadequate amount of space to the / fs for Satellite usage (around 50GB in my default setup).
