GitLab certainly had a #SucksToBeYou week. Earlier this week, an admin at GitLab had the same thing happen. Too tired, rm -rf in the wrong location, but unfortunately they had poor backup practices.
Props to them for being upfront.
IF they had Netapp gear, or Cloud Ontap, they could have used SnapRestore or Single-File SnapRestore to pull back the deleted files from snapshots within seconds.

Just a heads up – Isilon OneFS: Nodes containing Mellanox ConnectX-3 adapters may unexpectedly reboot after running for 248.5 consecutive days, which may result in data unavailability ( ETA 491747 )

This primarily hits systems with OneFS 7.2.1.
Reboot those nodes ahead of time or patch if possible! Otherwise, it’ll #SucksToBeYou!

Some days everything goes wrong. It’s not always your fault.
Often, vendors know about problems, and may post about them, or send a communique to vendors or their top superglobomega-corp customers. You are too busy to see them, or not privileged to that information.
This category hopes to be a beacon, a guiding light to what you should know. Learn about issues before you have a day that you feel it sucks to be you.
I’ll primarily focus on Datacenter issues which affect one of my typical customers, typical products we see in virtualization, compute (hyper-converged/converged), storage systems and security.
