Git clone: index-pack died of signal 25

问题

Following error message is displayed when I try to clone a specific repository. This happened only when cloning that repository.

remote: Enumerating objects: 991, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (991/991), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (422/422), done.
error: index-pack died of signal 25, 60.96 MiB | 5.56 MiB/s
fatal: index-pack failed

Environment: CentOS Linux 7 x86_64, with around 1.9G memory available.

What I have already tried,

Cloning the same repo on a different machine; Result: Successful
Cloning the repo with a lower depth --depth=1; Result: Successful

Observations

The repository seems to have a lots of commits
Since the cloning worked on another machine, problem should be related to the computer where the problem occurred.

Questions:

What does index-pack died of signal 25 mean? Where can I find documentation for it? Is that related to Git itself or OS?
How can I solve it?

I've searched for similar questions which would have had index-pack died of signal 25 but couldn't find a solution.

回答1:

According to man 7 signal, signal 25 is SIGXFSZ, which means "File size limit exceeded". man 2 setrlimit says this:

       RLIMIT_FSIZE
              This is the maximum size in bytes of files that the process
              may create.  Attempts to extend a file beyond this limit
              result in delivery of a SIGXFSZ signal.  By default, this sig‐
              nal terminates a process, but a process can catch this signal
              instead, in which case the relevant system call (e.g.,
              write(2), truncate(2)) fails with the error EFBIG.

You can use the ulimit command to see and possibly change what this limit is.
