[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk server disk full - how to clean up via CLI?

[Fouts, Christopher]

Which spacewalk dir? I did a “find / -name spacewalk –type d” and none of the resulting directories contained a large amount of data.

    Chris,
    
    I don't know if this will be of any help to you, and someone will probably come up with a better solution, but here's what I once did.  I needed to remove Rpmforge repos, as Rpmforge ceased existence.  I deleted the repos, and ran fsck, but the Rpmforge-related packages remained.  Fortunately, "rf" was in the package names from Rpmforge, so I ran the following one-liner in the spacewalk directory:  "find . -type f -name '*.rf.*' -exec rm {} +".  That took care of the problem.  If the packages that you want to remove also have some identifier like "rf", perhaps this will work for you.

    I did the spacewalk-remove-channel but it did NOT delete packages. I’m now trying to do spacewalk-data-fsck but I get this…
    
    [root at td-spacewalk bin]# spacewalk-data-fsck -r Spacewalk 23672 2017/04/13 10:33:37 -04:00: ERROR LOG FILE: Couldn't open log file /var/log/rhn/spacewalk-data-fsck.log

        > I have 100% disk usage on my Spacewalk server, and the Spacewalk site (of course) shows Internal Server Error on any page. How can I delete a repo and a channel (CentOS 7 Debuginfo) via CLI to clean this up?
        
        Hi Christopher,
        
        There are spacewalk-remove-channel and spacewalk-data-fsck commands which
        can help you.
