Hi, We cannot reproduce this issue internally. In our Spacewalk testing, a client connected to a channel that only syncs from ol5_x86_64_latest creates almost exactly the same metadata as if it were directly connected to yum.oracle.com or ULN.
But yes, it creates about 1.6GB of data: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1M Aug 9 23:17 comps.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61M Aug 10 2016 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344M Aug 9 23:19 filelists.xml.gz.sqlite -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193M Aug 10 2016 other.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 729M Aug 9 23:20 other.xml.gz.sqlite drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 9 23:12 packages -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23M Aug 10 2016 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194M Aug 9 23:19 primary.xml.gz.sqlite -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Aug 10 2016 repomd.xml In particular, the creation of the sqlite databases is very time-consuming and I/O intensive, particularly on OL5. If Spacewalk were to generate the sqlite DBs on the server side, at least that processing would be removed.
