export script - used /var/lib/pulp FS

[benderase]

Hi there, When I use the export script the Filesystem /var/lib/pulp is getting bigger, (be aware not the /var/lib/pulp/katello-export FS) Is it a normal behave of the export?

Hi.... is your katello-export a seperate mountpoint within /var/lib/pulp? If your export path is /var/lib/pulp/katello-export then that could explain what you are seeing as that is inside /var/lib/pulp..... I generally set the export to a seperate mountpoint outside pulp (/var/sat-export). The export does however use /var/cache/pulp which on some systems may be linked to /var/lib/pulp/cache when processing files, so this may grow as the export proceeds, but should reduce again as pulp empties the cache when done.

Hi, Thanks for the answer, Yes the katello-export is on separated mointpoint. you can see attached df output: (you can see that the export is even bigger then the source, seems wired too) I was running the script sat_export.py --notar -a

/dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_cache_pulp xfs 350G 34M 350G 1% /var/cache/pulp /dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_lib_mongodb xfs 50G 2.3G 48G 5% /var/lib/mongodb /dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_lib_pulp xfs 1.7T 297G 1.4T 18% /var/lib/pulp /dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_export xfs 1.1T 950G 175G 85% /var/lib/pulp/katello-export

Hi,

Are you still having this issue? Are you able to list what is in the katello-export directory?

Cheers
