Change git_data_dir to mounted cifs share resolves in error.

Created by: mengine23

Hi there,

i recently tried to set up a gitlab server and wanted the git_data_dir to be on a mounted windows share. So here are the steps i made:

*mount a share with help of cifs-tools (added to /etc/fstab) //8.8.8.8/xxx/GIT-Repos /media/gitrepos cifs uid=git,gid=git,credentials=/home/xxx/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0770,sec=ntlm 0 0

*Change git_data_dir the mounted folder & run gitlab-ctl reconfigure This does not lead to any errors. Everything seems to be fine. The folder "gitlab-satellites" & "repositories" are created properly.

Now i tried to create a new project via web interface. This always lead to the error message "Failed to create repository". I checked the logs, but there is no entry or hint that something went wrong. I post the related lines from production.log:

Started GET "/projects/new" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-16 12:29:24 +0100 Processing by ProjectsController#new as HTML Completed 200 OK in 85ms (Views: 56.7ms | ActiveRecord: 10.8ms) Started POST "/projects" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-16 12:34:01 +0100 Processing by ProjectsController#create as HTML Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"WFF01LII0r8HC4EoPUKczdnISHaO9tEWNkzyqNCI90A=", "project"=>{"path"=>"test", "namespace_id"=>"1", "import_url"=>"", "description"=>"", "visibility_level"=>"0"}} Completed 200 OK in 857ms (Views: 70.9ms | ActiveRecord: 17.9ms)

When i now peek inside the mounted folder, the repo has been created. So im confused about what can lead to that error?!
