I mainly work with the web interface (BTW - I'm running Oracle Linux Manager a.k.a. Spacewalk 10) and that's how I list my channels and repos. Once I run the cleanup script then I do this:
# spacecmd package_removeorphans # spacewalk-data-fsck -r -S -C -O # find /srv/satellite/rpms/ -xtype l -delete Then I sync the clones.

What happens if I remove some of the contents? Tony, It's been awhile since I ran Spacewalk. I replaced it with Satellite. I did a Google search and found this: spacecmd system_list spacecmd softwarechannel_list Try 'spacecmd help' to see all of the available functions. This looks like what I used in the past.

I do see some channels listed using "rhncfg-client list" but I was expecting more. Thanks!

When I'm ready to update I perform a manual sync, then run the aforementioned script and cleanup to remove all the older packages. Then I sync the clone with the parent channel and select to sync only new packages. That seems to keep my space down to a reasonable level.

What happens if I remove some of the contents? Hi, Following up on this. Spacewalk-data-fsck only cleared a few packages so the drive is still just about 100% full. I believe I have to start managing channels somehow...via spacecmd or GUI but I cannot get to them. All of the services are listed as running when I run /usr/sbin/spacewalk-service status but when I try to use spacecmd it gives ERROR: Failed to connect to https://../rpc/api The hostname is listed in /etc/hosts for localhost and I can ping the address. Other than that I'm not sure where to look to get the api connected. Would you guys have any ideas? Thanks again!

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.

Once your system/db is down, API will be down as well. Try to cleanup some files first (ISO) or any other log that will allow you to start your SW once again, after that, go for it. I hope this helps. ______________ Best Waldirio Skype: waldirio Site: www.waldirio.com.br<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.waldirio.com.br%2F&data=04%7C01%7Calan.pittman%40publix.com%7C8dcb142b15f8403431f008d9e680c3af%7C623cac68b5d045f191093122c3974cc9%7C0%7C0%7C637794263875709948%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=4zQcj4Dg8l3boaGkf%2B5fkgiecD%2FRTJJZHBkjznb2NnM%3D&reserved=0> LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waldirio<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fwaldirio&data=04%7C01%7Calan.pittman%40publix.com%7C8dcb142b15f8403431f008d9e680c3af%7C623cac68b5d045f191093122c3974cc9%7C0%7C0%7C637794263875709948%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=5llT%2Bf8LomqOlupaZW%2Bh7MBpJxplgmbrgovv%2BD2uSNw%3D&reserved=0> On Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 11:33 AM T <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thank you all - I needed to first clear some space to even wget the script.
