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

[T]

Thanks for the help everyone! I was able to get the database up by just
removing some directories from /var/satellite/redhat/ and systemctl start
postgresql. The system is currently doing the spacewalk-data-fsck
processes.. which will take a while. What else are you guys doing for
system maintenance? I figure I should run the data-fsck command every week.
