## Legacy Storage

Legacy Storage is the storage behavior prior to version 10.0. For historical
reasons, GitLab replicated the same mapping structure from the projects URLs:
* Project's repository: `#{namespace}/#{project_name}.git`
* Project's wiki: `#{namespace}/#{project_name}.wiki.git`
* Project's repository: `#{namespace}/#{project_name}.git`
* Project's wiki: `#{namespace}/#{project_name}.wiki.git`
This structure made simple to migrate from existing solutions to GitLab and easy for Administrators to find where the
repository is stored.

On the other hand this has some drawbacks:
Storage location will concentrate huge amount of top-level namespaces. The impact can be reduced by the introduction of [multiple storage paths][storage-paths].

Because Backups are a snapshot of the same URL mapping, if you try to recover a very old backup, you need to verify
if any project has taken the place of an old removed project sharing the same URL. This means that `mygroup/myproject`
from your backup may not be the same original project that is today in the same URL.

`mygroup/myproject` from your backup may not be the same original project that
is at that same URL today.
Any change in the URL will need to be reflected on disk (when groups / users or projects are renamed). This can add a lot
of load in big installations, and can be even worst if they are using any type of network based filesystem.

Last, for GitLab Geo, this storage type means we have to synchronize the disk state, replicate renames in the correct
order or we may end-up with wrong repository or missing data temporarily.
For GitLab Geo in particular: Geo does work with legacy storage, but in some
edge cases due to race conditions it can lead to errors when a project is
renamed multiple times in short succession, or a project is deleted and
recreated under the same name very quickly. We expect these race events to be
rare, and we have not observed a race condition side-effect happening yet.
This pattern also exists in other objects stored in GitLab, like issue Attachments, GitLab Pages artifacts,
Docker Containers for the integrated Registry, etc.

## Hashed Storage
Hashed Storage is the new storage behavior we are rolling out with 10.0. It's not enabled by default yet, but we
encourage everyone to try-it and take the time to fix any script you may have that depends on the old behavior.

Instead of coupling project URL and the folder structure where the repository will be stored on disk, we are coupling
a hash, based on the project's ID.
Hashed Storage is the new storage behavior we are rolling out with 10.0. Instead
of coupling project URL and the folder structure where the repository will be
stored on disk, we are coupling a hash, based on the project's ID. This makes
the folder structure immutable, and therefore eliminates any requirement to
synchronize state from URLs to disk structure. This means that renaming a group,
user, or project will cost only the database transaction, and will take effect
immediately.

This new format also makes possible to restore backups with confidence, as when restoring a repository from the backup,
you will never mistakenly restore a repository in the wrong project (considering the backup is made after the migration).

### Hashed Storage
>**Warning**
Hashed storage is in **Alpha**. It is considered experimental and not
production-ready. See [Hashed
Storage](../administration/repository_storage_types.md) for more detail.
If you previously enabled Hashed Storage and migrated all your existing
projects to Hashed Storage, disabling hashed storage will not migrate projects
to their previous project based storage path. As such, once enabled and
migrated we recommend leaving Hashed Storage enabled.
## Upgrading to GitLab 10.1
>**Warning**
Hashed storage is in **Alpha**. It is considered experimental and not
production-ready. See [Hashed
Storage](../administration/repository_storage_types.md) for more detail.
[Hashed storage](../administration/repository_storage_types.md) was introduced
in GitLab 10.0, and a [migration path](../administration/raketasks/storage.md)
for existing repositories was added in GitLab 10.1.
After upgrading to GitLab 10.1, we recommend that you
[enable hashed storage for all new projects](#step-5-enabling-hashed-storage-from-gitlab-100),
then [migrate existing projects to hashed storage](../administration/raketasks/storage.md).
This will significantly reduce the amount of synchronization required between
nodes in the event of project or group renames.
