    <p>I've seen a couple of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/718962/git-push-error-pack-objects-died-with-strange-error">similar</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4025708/git-cant-push-unpacker-error">questions</a> to this, but haven't been able to solve my problem so am asking again. </p> <p>I added a load of new files to an existing git-enabled project and am trying to push them up. When I do the push, it compresses them, then writes them, then when it gets to %100 it fails out with this error:</p> <pre><code>error: index-pack died of signal 9 332.28 MiB | 5712 KiB/s error: pack-objects died with strange error error: failed to push some refs to '&lt;username&gt;@&lt;my repo location' </code></pre> <p>Things i have tried so far:</p> <ol> <li><p>going to the repo and making sure everything is writable, like suggested <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4025708/git-cant-push-unpacker-error">here</a></p></li> <li><p>setting the <code>binary -delta</code> option on some filetypes in .gitattributes</p></li> <li><p>moving some of the folders out (and git committing the delete) with a view to adding them back individually later. </p></li> </ol> <p>I'm kind of out of ideas... :/ Any suggestions? Grateful for any advice - max</p> <p>EDIT - I've since discovered that this is due to dreamhost killing the push due to excessive memory consumption (i did this by copying my app folder to the repo server on dreamhost and doing the push from there). </p> <p>I've <a href="http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Git" rel="nofollow noreferrer">found</a> some <a href="http://craigjolicoeur.com/blog/hosting-git-repositories-on-dreamhost" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pages</a>, - that talk about a <code>NO_MMAP=1</code> option in git to help prevent this, but they talk about it in terms of configuring git when it's installed. Can i set this option in an existing git install? Is it part of the config for the git-inited app that's doing the push or is it part of the config for the repo?</p> <p>EDIT 2 - following the instructions on the page above, I downloaded and made my own local git binaries, with the NO_MMAP=1 option set. </p> <p>I made sure these were before the dreamhost-installed versions in my path, and "which git" shows my local version, so far so good. But, i get exactly the same problem. </p> <p>Do i need to do something with my repo to make the NO_MMAP option work, or is the problem something else do you think?</p>

    1. CODo you maintain the host that you are trying to push to? Signal 9 is a somewhat strong signal to be sending and you need to figure who/what on the remote host is sending that signal to the `index-pack` process. Checking `dmesg` or the contents of `/var/log` on the machine might reveal something.

    2. COWhat OS is the server on? You could use procmon on windows to see what's happening on the filesystem, etc., or maybe figure out a way to use strace/ltrace on linux or similar systems?

    3. CO@EmilSit - as an experiment i just copied my git app folder to the same server where the repo is, and changed its config to point to the local repo folder, so that my push was *just* happening on the server and didn't require any http requests. I got this: `Yikes! One of your processes (git, pid 7746) was just killed for excessive resource usage. Please contact DreamHost Support for details.` As you can see it's a shared dreamhost server (so my colleague doesn't *own* it as such but he owns that shared bit at least).

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
