Error 'Repository storages weighted can't include <STORAGE>' when attempting to update storage weight after removing storage from gitlab.rb

Summary

If an existing storage is removed, all attempts to update Admin Area -> Settings -> Repository -> Storage nodes for new repositories will fail with error Repository storages weighted can't include: <REMOVED_STORAGE_NAME>

Steps to reproduce

  • Add a new storage to your gitlab.rb:
git_data_dirs ({
  "default" => {
    "path" => "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data"
  },
  "remove_me" => {
    "path" => "/var/opt/gitlab/remove-me"
  }
})
  • Reconfigure and set its weight to any non-zero value
  • Remove remove_me from git_data_dirs and reconfigure again
  • Any attempt to change storage weights will now fail

What is the current bug behavior?

Removing a Gitaly storage blocks updates to storage weights.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Storage weights continue to be updatable after a storage is removed.

Possible fixes

Perhaps removing any invalid storages from the existing setting when checking, instead of throwing an error.

This can be worked around by removing the deleted storage from ApplicationSettings via the rails console (sudo gitlab-rails console). Below is an example with just default storage, if your instance has additional storages they would need to be included as well.

settings = ApplicationSetting.current
settings.update(repository_storages_weighted: {"default"=>100})
settings.save!
