Hello again Matthew!
I believe that the sync task downloads all the RPMs into /var/cache/
pulp and then moves them into /var/lib/pulp as a later step. Several of
us developers want to redesign our plugin API to support stream
processing, but in the meantime you will need enough storage in /var/
cache/pulp to support all the bytes for an entire sync. I don't know off
the top of my head how large distro repos are, but I'd say they're
usually on the scale of 10s of GBs.
