I've tried symlinks in past (I was symlinking the whole /var/lib/pulp
directory), but it was not working as expected (maybe with
/var/lib/pulp/packages it might be different, but it's good to know
about this). When symlinking the whole /var/lib/pulp, there was problem
that the symlinks that are in /var/lib/pulp/repos were not evaluated
correctly.
My advice is, if the symlinking doesn't work, use mount --bind. There
might be additional steps with selinux, to give the new directory the
context pulp needs. But to try it out, disabling selinux (and turning it
on later) is a good start.
