Make Gerrit do not list and index some subdirectories in folder with repositories

Hi all,

we have mounted Gerrit repositories directory as an NFS mount with Snapshots enabled.

Now, snapshots directories are being generated inside directory with Gerrit repositories and being listed as Gerrit projects on UI.

E.g.:

/gerrit/git/repo1

/gerrit/git/.snapshots/daily/repo1

Both of those projects are listed in Gerrit UI.

Is there a way to configure gerrit to ignore subdirectories inside /gerrit/git folder?

Gerrit version is 2.14.20.

Thanks!

Olek

In Gerrit the subdirectory is part of the name.

Can you configure the snapshots to be generated somewhere else?

Gerrit version is 2.14.20.

Hi Luca,

thanks for an answer.

As Gerrit reads all the directories recursively we just moved directory with repositories one level down:

Now:

/gerrit/mnt_folder/git <- now Gerrit configured to use this folder, so snapshots are not visible as projects

/gerrit/mnt_folder/git/repo1

/gerrit/mnt_folder/.snapshot

/gerrit/mnt_folder/.snapshot/daily/git/repo1 and etc.

And was (git folder is NFS mount):

/gerrit/git/repo1

/gerrit/git/.snapshots/daily/repo1 <- was visible as project in Gerrit

That is a standard location of NFS snaphots in solutions like NetApp. (Actually .snapshot exists in each subdirectory recursively but is not visible for listing like "ls")
