Migration Plugin

Migration plugin version: pulp-2to3-migration (0.2.0b7.dev0)

I did not see this warning in journalctl: https://github.com/pulp/pulp-2to3-migration/blob/0.2/pulp_2to3_migration/app/plugin/content.py#L133

I also tested this and it worked: os.link("/var/lib/pulp/foo.txt", "/var/lib/pulp/baz.txt")

The filesystem type is EXT4.

I was able to capture the error. This is one of many:

Sep  1 14:40:29 centos7-katello-devel pulpcore-worker-1: pulp: pulp_2to3_migration.app.plugin.content:INFO: Hard link cannot be created, file will be copied

yeah, thanks for confirmation. So this error points to the permissions and ownership which are not set correctly. In order to create the hardlink from /var/lib/pulp, apache should be part of pulp group, and pulp group should have write permissions. I will check more, i think even pullp installer has wrong permissions.

The apache user can make hard links from the content dir to the artifact dir, but the pulp user cannot. Is it the pulp user who is trying to make the link instead of the apache user?

I filed 2 issues https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7445 and https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7443

These are expected permissions and ownership https://github.com/pulp/pulp_installer/blob/master/roles/pulp_common/tasks/install.yml#L107-L133

Based on the comments I suggest to close this issue and fix the 2filed above + make sure that foreman installer does set properly permissions/ownership
