Distribution and version:
CentOS 7

Other relevant data:

Looking at the error data most seem to complain about [Errno 39] Directory not empty: ‘/var/lib/pulp/tmp/1192@repomirror.example.com/ad45e848-c283-4906-adaf-4041a7a6289c’

I even went as far as to recursively remove all of the directories with a similar name in /var/lib/pulp. I resumed one of the metadata generates, and it has been running for over 24 hours and hasn’t thrown an error.

I also get the same error about the directory not being empty when I try to sync CentOS 7 repositories. When I remove those directories and perform an advanced sync, then things work.

I will admit that I’m a noob when it comes to foreman/katello, so any guidance is appreciated. If further info is needed, let me know and I’ll be happy to post it.
