[Gluster-users] error writing to gluster-fs over fuse

[William M Bradley]

I ran into an error while trying to push into a git repo on gluster storage.


error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/master: Invalid argument
remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/master
To /research/rcs/git/docsbuild.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (failed to lock)
error: failed to push some refs to '/research/rcs/git/docsbuild.git'

I thought this was due to some messed up history in my git repoand so I tried to remove the repo on gluster-fs mounted research storage and start anew, for which I got the following error:

rm -rf docsbuild.git/

rm: cannot remove `docsbuild.git//refs/heads/master': Invalid argument


I then changed to storage mounted over nfs and was able to remove the directory there.


$ pushd /research-nfs/rcs/git
 $ ls
blogsbuild.git  blogs.git  builddocs.git  docsbuild.git  docs.git  mediawiki-deploy.git  mediawiki.git  wordpress.git
$ rm -rf docsbuild.git/
$ ls
blogsbuild.git  blogs.git  builddocs.git  docs.git  mediawiki-deploy.git  mediawiki.git  wordpress.git


Any ideas as to why the fuse mounted gluster would run into a locking issue with git?
