Configure Pulp packages location?

[Ron Brinker]

Is it possible to configure where Pulp stores packages that it syncs from a repo? I just
started playing with having Katello sync Red Hat Repositories, and they are going in
/var/lib/pulp/packages, and are quite large. I'm not seeing any options in
/etc/pulp/pulp.conf.

I'd like to direct Pulp to put them somewhere else, as all sorts of bad things happen
as I keep running out of space in /var. (Obviously, I could mount a new fs on
/var/lib/pulp/packages, but I was hoping for a cleaner solution)

Thanks,

Ron Brinker

Also of note is the design work currently going on in pulp, which you can read about
here:

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/ConfigurableStorage

Without a doubt, when this becomes available, katello will take full advantage of it in
any way we can.

Hello,

you are right.

Currently the only recommended solution is to mount that directory to a
different partition or to use mount --rebind if you don't have separate
partition:

In any case, pay attention to SELinux when doing this - relabel and
check the AVC log after this change.
