Hi dear folks, I've spent three full days trying to get git working on a synology ds101g+ diskstation with no result. My aim is to enable ds101g+ to host git repositories. The error is trivial to describe and to reproduce. After installing all the necessary packages (core-utils, ssh, git, ...) I connected to the diskstation via ssh and performed this simple test:
- initialize an empty repository
DiskStation> cd /volume1/repos/
DiskStation> mkdir test
DiskStation> cd test
DiskStation> git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /volume1/repos/test/.git/
- add a single file and commit
DiskStation> echo 'hi' > hi
DiskStation> git add hi
Diskstation> git commit -m "first commit"
error: unable to find 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057
fatal: 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057 is not a valid object
- What's that? Let's check the filesystem
DiskStation> git fsck
notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master)
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: unable to find 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057
fatal: failed to read object 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057: Bad file descriptor
- the funny part is that the objects DO EXIST in the filesystem:
DiskStation> find .git/objects/ -type f
.git/objects/45/b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057
The bottom line is that git do not accept any commit. This is really a strange error which seems to depend on the git package. To confirm this suspect I mounted the git repository via ssh and perfomed the same check from a PC (this time using git on the PC):
PC> sshfs git@diskstation:/volume1/repos/test ~/test
PC> cd test
PC> git fsck
notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master)
notice: No default references
NO ERRORS! Which implies that the repository is not corrupted. So what? Am I doing right? Anyone out there have an idea of what's going on? Thanks a lot
