[Spacewalk-list] Reinstalling Spacewalk

[Sam Sen]

That's what I did but I just realized I wiped out the DB for other reasons. That's probably why my new installation didn't realize the RPMs and metadata were present. I just finished another sync so all is well now.

Regards,

Sam

Not sure what you mean appropriate folder. When you spacewalk-repo-sync (let's assume you that) repos to Satellite, two things happen:
information about those rpms gets stored in the database, and the rpms get stored under the /var/satellite directory. If you have content of that original /var/satellite directory, re-running that spacewalk-repo-sync should re-download the metadata while realize the .rpms themselves are in /var/satellite already.
