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 Mike McCune 2013-08-13 17:28:21 UTC 
Satellite 6 requires large amounts of storage in the /var/lib/ partition mostly in /var/lib/pulp for content.

It is common that a sync is started and fills up /var but the user doesn't really know why syncs are failing or when they are getting close to the limit on that filesystem.

Ideally Satellite 6 would monitor and warn when a sync starts that it will fill up /var/lib.  We have size calculations available when syncing so it could be possible to sum up the total # of running syncs and warn and eventually pause the sync when the limit is close (within some configurable criteria).

This would allow the admin to add more space and then resume the sync.
