Description of problem: Currently in Satellite 6, a default setup scenario without customizing the partitioning layout explicitly, we hold all pulp content in /var. With this in mind, we are living on the same partition as the databases for the Satellite, including PostgreSQL as well as MongoDB. We would like to implement a way to have pulp check and verify /possible/ space requirement of initiated syncs in order to attempt to prevent a disk full situation as a result of sync tasks. Through discussion with other engineers, it is apparent that we could not likely accomplish this directly through Satellite, but will probably require work directly in pulp to perform correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install standard partitioned Minimal/Base RHEL Server 6/7 2. Sync until you fill up /var (no special partitioning scheme) 3. Plausibly witness database corruption in PGSQL/MongoDB depending on actions taken on satellite at time of disk running out. (Mongo possibly terminates as well, depending on scenario) Actual results: Satellite Data Corruption Expected results: Prevent filling disk, if at all possible. Additional info:
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
