Section: - Guided Exercise: Create Products with Repository Discovery
Language: en-US (English)
Workaround: Emphasize STRONGLY that synching RHEL 9 will result to a huge time lose.

Description: In the GE of chapter 8 where we ask students to import RHEL 8 repositories, via Repo discovery, 2 of my students by mistake used the RHEL 9 repos and not the requested 8.

As a result, they ended up with no space in the /var and they couldn't continue with the next labs. I had to reset their environment after the class in order to provide them with a clean environment.

Although it's clearly a mistake from their side, I believe we could avoid a situation like this if we can increase the size of the disk on the Satellite server.

If it's not possible, I would recommend to add a script that will clean up those repositories and reclaim some of the disk space (although we cannot get back everything).
