Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1381702
Remove the standard pulp unit storage path migration
Last modified: 2018-09-19 11:12:09 EDT
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
The upstream issue: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2323#note-23 references an attached .patch file and the pulp.spec used to test it.

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.
