Repository directory is somehow being renamed to append .orig to the directory name

We have a problem that we are trying to resolve. Our repository storage folder mysteriously is renamed and not by any staff member. The only change on the server (and this change is not a small one in that it makes the repositories unavailable) is this directory name change (from directory.name to directory.name.orig).

Does anyone know what is causing this and what we need to do to resolve this issue?

Can you post your config and redact sensitive info?

My initial gut feeling is it is something on the VM itself that would be doing that. Maybe use auditctl to see what user is changing it be it the gitea user, etc.
