Lost LFS Objects after migrating to another server

[Clemens Marckhoff]

Hi,

we are using Atlassian Bitbucket 4.13 on our own Ubuntu 16.04 server, we have migrated our installation to another 16.04 server, everything is working except the LFS:

- Index for the files seems correct, they are displayed as usual

- The referenced files seem gone (or haven't migrated correctly)

- Master Branch couldn't be checked out, because of missing object / file

We've used this migration guide:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/migrating-bitbucket-server-to-another-server-776640406.html

Could someone help us out?

Thank you in advance & best regards

Oliver

Hi Clemens

Bitbucket server stores Git LFS in the directory $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/data/git-lfs/storage.  Please make sure you have migrated this as well to the new server.

If that doesn't help and if your old server still available you can do a clone and run

git lfs fetch --all

then add the new origin to new server, then do a 

git lfs push --all 

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Hi Prasanth,

i've checked the two path vice-versa and there was a difference.

After starting a new copy of this folder, the files are back, simple as that.

Solved - Thank you very much!

Best regards
