Why does Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS) via satellite-sync take much longer after upgrading Satellite 5 to 5.8?
Issue
- After upgrading an ISS slave Satellite 5.7 to 5.8,
satellite-sync
takes much longer to complete than it did while it was running Satellite 5.7. - The output of
satellite-sync
shows that steps "Diffing package metadata" and "Linking packages to channels" are behind most of the extra time.
Environment
- Red Hat Satellite 5.8
- PostgreSQL database (embedded, managed or external)
- Inter-Satellite Sync slave
