Is it safe to symlink pulp cache to /var/lib/pulp for Satellite6 or its Capsule?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • /var/cache/pulp disk space requirements can be very high (esp. for non-RPM repos)
  • it is beneficial to have the cache on the same logical volume like /var/lib/pulp, to optimise copying files among the directories

Is it therefore supported to have a symbolic link from /var/cache/pulp to /var/lib/pulp/cache?
