Repository of type "file" can fill Satellite's /var/cache/pulp filesystem unless it's large enough to hold the entire repository in cache at the same time.
Issue
When syncing a repository of type file
to the Red Hat Satellite, the entire contents of the repository are downloaded to /var/cache/pulp
before being moved off to their final location. Potentially this can fill /var/cache/pulp/ and the sync task will be unable to complete.
Environment
Red Hat Satellite 6
