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 Vincent S. Cojot 2018-09-19 18:20:45 UTC
Description of problem:


Satellite 6.x is too aggressive in removing things on local host:

https://github.com/Katello/katello-client-bootstrap/blob/master/bootstrap.py#L394

Instead of 'yum clean all', it would be sufficient to run:
'yum clean headers metadata dbcache'

The unexpected side effect of having bootstrap do that when you have a shared rpm cache on NFS, is that the first host to run bootstrap wiped the NFS rpms cache on the NFS server.
