RHN Management Satellite sync. report fromsputnik.bris.ac.uk

I'm not 100% sure if it's complaining that /var/satellite
on you satalite server is a problem or if it's complaining
that /var/satellite on the remote server is a problem.
 
Check to make sure that you can see and use /var/satellite
on your server to be sure.
 
check /var/satalite's usage ( use df and du)
 
go to that dir and make files, remove files, edit files.
 
Do you get errors?
What does dmesg say after that?
 
You need to be sure this is not a local problem.

Hi,

Recently my satellite server seems to fail to sync every
other night with
the following error. Can anyone shed any light on what's
going wrong?

Thanks Nick
