error: pack-objects died of signal 9

git config pack.windowMemory 10m
git config pack.packSizeLimit 20m

git command running under user 'git' with gitlab installed looks for configuration in following places:

• current git repo
• /etc/gitconfig
• /var/opt/gitlab/.config/git/config
• /var/opt/gitlab/.gitconfig

This is a user config gile, and file is generated form /opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/gitlab/templates/default/gitconfig.erb

But if git binary from gitlab is used

sudo -u git -H "/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git" config -l

then, file /opt/gitlab/embedded/etc/gitconfig is used. To modify this file:

gitlab.rb

omnibus_gitconfig['system'] = { "receive" => ["fsckObjects = true"],
                                "core" => ["packedGitLimit = 40m", "packedGitWindowSize = 40m"],
                                "pack" => ["deltaCacheSize = 40m", "packSizeLimit = 40m", "windowMemory = 40m", "threads = 1"] }

Test config:

gitlabctl show-config

Regenerate config:

gitlabctl reconfigure

sudo -u git bash
cd /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/{namespace}/{repository}.git
git gc --aggressive
