Is it possible to rm -rf /var/lib/pulp/* and re-create all of the

/var/lib/pulp?

There is not a Pulp specific command to do that, but stopping apache,
dropping the database, rm -rf /var/lib/pulp/*, and running
pulp-manage-db is a pretty sure way to look like a new Pulp
installation.

If you don't stop apache first, things might get a little weird.


I'm not sure that'll work. The RPMs create a number of directories in there that are used by Pulp. I wouldn't be surprised to see that Pulp assumes their existence and won't attempt to recreate if they aren't found.

Also in there is the tracker for serial numbers assigned to certificates we create. If that's reset to 0, you may run into SSL verification issues with multiple certificates on the same serial number.

I believe you also run the risk of hitting SELinux issues if the policies aren't reapplied, but I'm not entirely familiar with out setup so that may not be an issue.
