It seems to need approximately three times the amount of space of the data being exported: - it will export the repo to a directory (copy 1) - copy it to another directory with different layout (copy 2) - include all the exported data into an ISO via mkisofs (copy 3) - it doesn't clean up the copies as it goes Let me know if this sounds wrong. -- Rohan _______________________________________________ Pulp-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-list
