Dear All,

let us assume ,right now my repository(crx-quickstart/repository) size is 4 GB.

i have uploaded a 30GB package to crx/packMgr,now my repository(crx-quickstart/repository) size is 34 GB.

then I have installed the uploaded package,now my repository( crx-quickstart/repository) size is 64 GB.

then I have deleted the uploaded package ,now my repository(crx-quickstart/repository) size is 94 GB.

could any tell me why is it happening like this ?

Thanks & Regards,

VeeraReddy.

    Hi,

    from 4 > 34G: should be clear, the package is added to the repository

    from 34 > 64G: the content within the package is extracted to the repository.

    from 64 > 94G: not sure, mabye  a snapshot has been created for it.

    2 things as advice:

    • When you work with such large packages, always install them without creating a snapshot.
    • after such operations run a datastore GC to reclaim the storage.

    When you install a package through the package manager UI, there is an "advanced" option, where you can select that no snapshots are created.
