+## Handling failing repository storage
+
+> [Introduced][ce-11449] in GitLab 9.5.
+
+When GitLab detects access to the repositories storage fails repeatedly, it can
+gracefully prevent attempts to access the storage. This might be useful when
+the repositories are stored somewhere on the network.
+
+The configuration could look as follows:
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+    ```ruby
+    git_data_dirs({
+      "default" => {
+        "path" => "/mnt/nfs-01/git-data",
+        "failure_count_threshold" => 10,
+        "failure_wait_time" => 30,
+        "failure_reset_time" => 1800,
+        "storage_timeout" => 5
+       }
+    })
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure-gitlab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+**For installations from source**
+
+1. Edit `config/gitlab.yml`:
+
+    ```yaml
+    repositories:
+      storages: # You must have at least a `default` storage path.
+        default:
+          path: /home/git/repositories/
+          failure_count_threshold: 10 # number of failures before stopping attempts
+          failure_wait_time: 30 # Seconds after last access failure before trying again
+          failure_reset_time: 1800 # Time in seconds to expire failures
+          storage_timeout: 5 # Time in seconds to wait before aborting a storage access attempt
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [restart GitLab][restart-gitlab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+
+**`failure_count_threshold`:** The number of failures of after which GitLab will
+completely prevent access to the storage. The number of failures can be reset in
+the admin interface: `https://gitlab.example.com/admin/health_check` or using the
+[api](../api/repository_storage_health.md) to allow access to the storage again.
+
+**`failure_wait_time`:** When access to a storage fails. GitLab will prevent
+access to the storage for the time specified here. This allows the filesystem to
+recover without.
+
+**`failure_reset_time`:** The time in seconds GitLab will keep failure
+information. When no failures occur during this time, information about the
+mount is reset.
+
+**`storage_timeout`:** The time in seconds GitLab will try to access storage.
+After this time a timeout error will be raised.
+
+When storage failures occur, this will be visible in the admin interface like this:
+
+![failing storage](img/failing_storage.png)
