This looks similar: http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=205

I've seen it once when trying to "git push --mirror" the Linux kernel.

It is annoying...  and once it happens, everything else starts to fail.

no hostkey alg
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How do I workaround it?

Thanks,

Luciano.

I don't know. I can't find where this error is even coming from,
its not part of Gerrit's source code base. Its also not part of
MINA SSHD. So my guess is its from OpenSSH complaining about some
sort of breakage on the server side.

Did the server report anything into its error_log file? What does an
`ssh -v` output when connecting to a server in this state?

That's the error that OpenSSH gives you if it can't find a shared host key algorithm between the server and client side. If you're getting it mid way through an ssh connection, then it suggests that rekeying is happening, and the server is doing something different with the rekey than it did on the original key exchange.

After investigating what was going on with the server and that huge amount of files kept open I resolved to roll back to give the machine a reboot and try it again.
I was able to push one whole Android branch we have. When I tried to push the second branch, the very same (too many open files) and (no hostkey alg) started to happen again, and nothing else could be done with Gerrit. If I simply restarted it, the same error would happen in the first or second push.

I gave up. Wiped out the repos I previously pushed, wiped out the database and rolled Gerrit back to 2.1.1.1, instead of the latest build I was using.

I was able to push 4 branches to all the repos now and the number of open files seems to be reasonably normal.

Some problem with keeping files open is in the HEAD and on the pipe for 2.1.2, I recommend some investigation. I can send you my logs if you need them.

Luciano.
