[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk server disk full - how to clean up via CLI?

[Dimitri Yioulos]

Chris,

I don't know if this will be of any help to you, and someone will probably come up with a better solution, but here's what I once did.  I needed to remove Rpmforge repos, as Rpmforge ceased existence.  I deleted the repos, and ran fsck, but the Rpmforge-related packages remained.  Fortunately, "rf" was in the package names from Rpmforge, so I ran the following one-liner in the spacewalk directory:  "find . -type f -name '*.rf.*' -exec rm {} +".  That took care of the problem.  If the packages that you want to remove also have some identifier like "rf", perhaps this will work for you.

I did the spacewalk-remove-channel but it did NOT delete packages. I’m now trying to do spacewalk-data-fsck but I get this…

[root at td-spacewalk bin]# spacewalk-data-fsck -r Spacewalk 23672 2017/04/13 10:33:37 -04:00: ERROR LOG FILE: Couldn't open log file /var/log/rhn/spacewalk-data-fsck.log

    Hi Christopher,
    
    There are spacewalk-remove-channel and spacewalk-data-fsck commands which
    can help you.
