Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2016-11-10 15:16:25 EST 
Hi,

I noticed pushing to Gerrit rejects pushes, for example:


! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/master (Unable to create changes: REJECTED_OTHER_REASON lock error: Creating directories for /home/data/git/tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass.git/refs/changes/36/84836 failed)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://mlaperle@git.eclipse.org:29418/tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass'

Are there permission issues on the server?

Also rebasing with the button gives "

Unable to create new object: /home/data/git/tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass.git/objects/18/867fa4d5d9e328be40de00a660a871302aff8a

Gerrit was missing group-write permissions, probably a recent change to allow Hudson to tag builds?

Anyhow, it should be fixed now.
Comment 2 Matthew Khouzam CLA 2016-11-10 15:35:45 EST 
It looks fixed for me now thanks Marc-Andre and Denis!

Let's go with "fixed"

> Let's go with "fixed"

I'm still getting the same issue:

Repository https://git.eclipse.org/r/papyrus-rt/org.eclipse.papyrus-rt

Unable to create changes: REJECTED_OTHER_REASON lock error: Creating directories for /home/data/git/papyrus-rt/org.eclipse.papyrus-rt.git/refs/changes/43/84843 failed
Processing changes: refs: 2
Processing changes: refs: 2, done    


Is the fix something that takes time to "propagate"?

Thanks

Comment 10 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2016-11-11 11:06:53 EST 
These should all be resolved now.

-M.
Comment 11 Matthias Villiger CLA 2016-11-14 10:12:23 EST 
I still have this issue for the Scout repo:

Unable to create changes: REJECTED_OTHER_REASON lock error: Creating directories for /home/data/git/scout/org.eclipse.scout.sdk.git/refs/changes/85/84985 failed
Comment 12 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2016-11-14 13:12:24 EST 
Sigh apparently 'recursive' didn't recurse as far as I thought it would.

Fixed.
