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.

Actual results:

Capsule synchronization dies and errors out, also hangs the synchronization job

Expected results:

Capsule synchronization should occur regardless of the length of the name of the content view

Additional info:

Both the Satellite and Capsule servers are using XFS filesystems
Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2018-09-04 18:01:57 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
Comment 5 hhemmerling 2021-04-29 10:32:44 UTC 
I have the same problem with Satellite 6.8.
To me it looks like the generated data name, which causes problems here, has a length of 287 characters. That is obviously 32 characters too many.

The part of this file name that I am responsible for is 56 characters.
Assuming that the organization, lifecycle and content view are represented in these 56 characters, that is by no means too much.

I find the far too long repo names that RedHat is responsible for much more difficult here.

Now these repos are called that and it is difficult to change that afterwards. So the only acceptable solution is to remove or extend the 255 character limit!

Otherwise the capsule cannot be used by us, which I would have to escalate accordingly.
Comment 6 Mike McCune 2021-05-04 16:54:24 UTC 
We are going to re-open this bug as it will be resolved in Satellite 6.10 with our move to Pulp 3 as the content storage backend for Satellite. Pulp 3 uses an entirely different database and filesystem layout for storing content and repositories that will not face the 255 character limitation as outlined in this bug.

We will add this to our verification and test cycle of Satellite 6.10 to ensure that this issue does not effect our customers and users.
Comment 7 Lai 2021-06-14 20:11:29 UTC 
Steps to retest:

1. Register a capsule to a sat via an ak
2. Ensure subscriptions and repos are present by running "subscription-manager repos" or "yum repolist"
3. Create a cv with over 255 characters in the name
4. Create a cv with exactly 255 characters in the name
5. Add necessary a sample repo to the cv created in 4 and publish
6. Check tasks page

Expected:
3. Should be an error that says only have a 255 character limit
4. Should be able to create cv successfully
6. Actions::Katello::ContentView::CapsuleGenerateAndSync should be successful

Actual:
3. There's an error that says only have a 255 character limit
4. Able to create cv successfully
6. Actions::Katello::ContentView::CapsuleGenerateAndSync is successful
