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.

Hi,
yes this has been fixed [0] in foreman_bootdisk 19.0.4, which is available in Satellite 6.11.

Comment 7 Marek Hulan 2023-12-21 18:30:07 UTC 
This seems like resolved long time ago, should this be closed as CURRENTRELEASE? 6.11 is out for a long time and older releases are end of life.
Comment 8 Leos Stejskal 2023-12-22 10:15:10 UTC 
Yes you are correct, I will pass it to QAs to verify it on the stream and then we can close it.
Comment 12 sganar 2024-01-11 07:33:52 UTC 
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.15.0 Snap 6.0

Steps followed: 
1. Configure a Satellite for provisioning.
2. Create a VMware CR
3. Create a host with VMware CR using the bootdisk method.

Observation: 
The host is provisioned successfully and there is no issue regarding disk space.
This has been tested on Vmware 7 and Vmware 8
