I'm relatively new to gitlab. I use gitlab-ce 12.8.1. During a backup gitlab-backup create I receive the following information:
user/some-repo ... [DONE]
user/other-repo ... [SKIPPED]
Does anyone have an idea, why some repos are skipped?
gitlab-rake gitlab:git:fsck reported only for two of them an error.
user/myrepo on default: 5:GetRepoPath: not a git repository '/var/git-data/repositories/user/myrepo.git'
Any help will be appreciated.
Edit:
I switched to gitlab-ce 12.7.6 and restored an older backup. After that gitlab-rake gitlab:git:fsck reported everything is ok. I think the repos were skipped during backup, because they are empty.
But:
The webfrontend shows for a skipped repo:
Storage: 104 MB (Repository: 104 MB / Wikis: 0 Bytes / Build Artifacts: 0 Bytes / LFS: 0 Bytes)
Switching to the repo shows The repository for this project is empty.
Looking at the file system, there is a ../git-data/repositories/user/repo.git directory with size of 104 MB.
So what's going wrong?
