Gitlab:import:repos fails with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM

#1

I’m trying to import a very huge (almost 40 GB) repository into GitLab, using this command:

gitlab-rake gitlab:import:repos['/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-20190423']

This worked well for a much smaller repository that had the same origin. But for this big one I get the following error:

E0423 19:02:58.983045682    1459 chttp2_transport.cc:1118]   Received a GOAWAY with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM and debug data equal to "too_many_pings"
 * Failed to move repo: 14:Socket closed

How can I import this repository?

Best regards

I’ve tried many things, but in the end it seems like setting the Polling interval multiplier (in Admin Area -> Preferences -> Real-time features) to 10.0 was the key.

Hello Timo, it looks like your project size exceeds the GitLab.com size limit which is 10GB. Here you can find more info https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.html#repository-size-limit-starter

Ah, no, we’re talking about a self-hosted Gitlab installation here.
