Issue #3920
Updated by jortel@redhat.com over 5 years ago
The termination (or restart) of the worker process can result in a truncated or partial artifact files being created by the file storage backend. Subsequent sync(s) will _silently_ create an Artifact in the DB that references the broken file. The only way to fix the situation is to delete the file in /var/lib/pulp/artifact and the Artifact in the DB.
This can be most easily reproduced with large files and a slow filesystem.
The regression was introduced: https://github.com/pulp/pulp/pull/3178. The problem is in django FileSystemStorage.
