Re: [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))

[DavidLeeCrites <lee@critesclan.com>]

I am getting the same kinds of errors, but the resolutions offered here did
not work. After using the ideas (that there was a tmp_* file I did not have
perms to write to, I started doing some global searches. 

One such was this (from inside .git/objects):
# ls -alR | grep tmp
ls: reading directory ./97: Input/output error

So I tried:
# cd 97
# ls -l
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
total 0K

To fix it, I did this:
# cd ..
# rm -fr ./97

The git push then worked fine.

I'll add a few more pieces to the puzzle. I have some of my git repositories
on a USB drive (the ones I get this issue with). I move it from system to
system. When git works, it works okay. But this irritant hits me about once
a week. My previous solution was to blow away the repo and rebuild it
(something suggested several times here). This is the first time I have
found a workaround.

These are my private repositories that hold my private files. I have a
github account I use for my public ones, plus my company has both a public
github and their own privately hosted github. So the same exact computer
systems (laptops and VMs) use all four with impunity. Almost all of them are
linux based -- a mix of CentOS 7.x and Linux Mint 14.x; all using git
v1.9.1. The one exception is osx. Thus the (brand new Toshiba 4T) USB drive
is built with the exFAT filesystem. When it works, it works okay; but as I
said, one of my dozen git repos will fail like this on a weekly basis. 

None of the items in my dockerhub or artifactory fail, nor do my rsnapshot
processes, or VLC/Banshee, etc. 

I've pretty much isolated it down to git. It is the ONLY app that fails. I
have noted in the past few months that the frequency of errors tells me I
cannot be using the USB drive for anything else while git is accessing the
drive. [mac specific: it is better when I use a USB 2.0 hub to plug the
drive in; we all are probably aware that the mac seems to have more issues
with USB 3.0...]

Anyway, I figured I'd toss this into the mix. Since it only happens once a
week or so, I cannot guarantee I'll have an update soon, but if someone is
curious, ping me, and I'll let you know when it happens again.
