[Spacewalk-list] [EXTERNAL] /var/satellite full (1.2TB). What happens if I remove some of the contents?

[Maglinger, Paul]

After you clean up you will want to update your repos using the “lastest packages” option, otherwise you’re just going to fill up again.

Thank you all - I needed to first clear some space to even wget the script. Muhammad, would you please expand on your point? Did you mean resync from repo? Do you know what command that is?

/var/satellite will continue to grow as the repos grow in size, due to packages being updated.
I have a separate disk just for satellite that we've bolted on more storage yearly.
