Context: <mirror>/update/leap/15.6/sle/repodata/ Recently, when mirroring, our local copy of "/update/leap/15.6/sle/repodata/" is pulling between 9 to 100GB of extra repodata files. For me, it appears to only affect updates/.../sle, with the largest being 15.6. However, repomd.xml as synced, is correct and links to 5 good files within repodata. Question: *Is it normal for a repodata pull to have this large amount of files appear during a sync?* We, of course, have rsync configured to "--delete" whatever it needs to during each synchronization. At this time, I believe it's only updates to the "sle" folder that have this behavior. For now, I'll have my validation logic purge anything that's not referenced by the repomd.* files. Let me know if this philosophy is in error. Cheers, T. Ryan Nicholson
