Description of problem: Repository synchronization is slower than it needs to be. I provisioned an EC2 instance and benchmarked sync numbers. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=katello.git;a=blob;f=src/config/katello.yml;h=458bacbd30cc8c433e0eac578580d809a23308c9;hb=57235444f7292528e9407bdfbf0427cd4f0651fc As of this BZ's filing date, Katello's default config values: pulp: url: https://localhost/pulp/api oauth_key: katello oauth_secret: shhhh sync_threads: 4 sync_KBlimit: 100 A sync of rhel6_x86_64 took: ~290 minutes with default settings ~70 minutes with a change of `sync_KBlimit: 500' ~13 minutes disabling the limit I recommend we disable the limit.
This is in master now.
[root@xxxx f15]# cat /etc/katello/katello.yml | grep -i KBlimit #sync_KBlimit: 100 [root@xxxx f15]# rpm -qav | grep -i katello-0 katello-0.1.111-1.git.0.10f9af0.fc15.x86_64 The sync_KBlimit has indeed been disabled.
