Why?
I am going to have a big (>150gb) repository, that will fulfill main drive, so /var/opt/gitlab/git-data is not going to be enough. I want to move existing repository (and wiki) from /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/mygroup/myproject to /mnt/big-repos/git-data/mygroup/myproject
Info
- GitLab Community Edition 11.3.6
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:
git_data_dirs({
"alternative" => {
"path" => "/mnt/big-repos/git-data"
},
"default" => {
"path" => "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data"
}
})
What I've tried?
1.
sudo -u git mkdir /mnt/big-repos/git-data/mygroup
sudo -u git mv /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/mygroup/myproject.* /mnt/big-repos/git-data/mygroup
rm -rf /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/mygroup/myproject.*
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
Not working, cuz it keeps spawning everything in old direcory.
2.
sudo -u git mkdir /mnt/big-repos/git-data/mygroup
sudo rsync -av /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/mygroup/myproject.* /mnt/big-repos/git-data/mygroup
rm -rf /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/mygroup/myproject.*
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
Same here. help
