Prevent stale packed-refs file when Gitaly is running on top of NFS (!924) · Merge requests · GitLab.org / gitaly

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-add-nfs-workaround into master Oct 16, 2018

Users of the Linux NFS client v4.0 (and even v4.1) may encounter stale file handles or stale data if git gc is running for a long time. A patch for this kernel bug is here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=153816500525563&w=2

This workaround calls stat() on the packed-refs file to force the kernel to do a directory entry validation on the inode.

Closes #1339 (closed)
