Description Mike McCune 2016-10-04 18:50:43 UTC 
This migration is causing extreme customer pain in the duration it induces in the upgrade. While useful to have a singular storage location in /var/lib/pulp, the cost during the upgrade is too high and should be removed.

We are going to remove this step from the upgrade process and optionally add a utility script that can be run out-of-band if desired but not required for operation.

This should reduce the upgrade time significantly for upgrades from 6.1 to 6.2
Comment 2 Jeff Ortel 2016-10-14 20:32:58 UTC 
The upstream issue: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2323#note-23 references an attached .patch file and the pulp.spec used to test it.

Comment 5 Jeff Ortel 2016-10-19 14:15:08 UTC 
jcalla,
The migration number is different for each plugin but the RPM migration (the most painful) is #28.  You should see "Standard storage path migration skipped." immediately following the skipped migration.
Comment 6 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2016-10-28 14:31:03 UTC 
The Pulp upstream bug status is at CLOSED - WONTFIX. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
Comment 7 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2016-10-28 14:31:06 UTC 
The Pulp upstream bug priority is at High. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
Comment 8 jcallaha 2016-11-05 20:07:52 UTC 
Verified in Satellite 6.2.4 Snap 2

Upgrade time: 30m 16s

Saw three instances of notifications that "Standard storage path migration skipped." During the pulp migrations listed below:
pulp_docker.plugins.migrations
pulp_puppet.plugins.migrations
pulp_rpm.plugins.migrations

Attaching full install log, a screencap of two of the notifications, as well as a diff of the filesystem structure from directly before and after the upgrade.
