Problem

Git clone or pull for the repositories is becoming slower.


Cause - No free disk space for BITBUCKET_HOME

SCM caching has been disabled due to the machine have less than 5GB (default setting) of free disk space.

Occasionally the Bitbucket Server is reaching resource limits warning is displayed.

The following appears in the atlassian-bitbucket.log

2017-11-24 10:23:32,304 WARN  [ssh-scm-request-handler] username @11Y6RESx623x3139x3 1f57r6a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SSH - git-upload-pack 'proj/repo' c.a.util.contentcache.ContentCache content-cache@287: caching has been temporarily disabled because there is not enough space left on /<bitbucket-home>/caches/scm/287

Check if free disk space for BITBUCKET_HOME is less than 5GB


Workaround

  1. Shutdown Bitbucket Server
  2. Create or edit the file BITBUCKET_HOME/bitbucket.properties to set plugin.bitbucket-scm-cache.minimum.free.space to have a lower value

    It might cause the machine to run out of disk space.

  3. Restart Bitbucket Server

Resolution

Increase free disk space in the BITBUCKET_HOME directory.

In a data center installation, the caches are located on the local filesystem of each node and not in the shared directory.
