After battling Ceph storage issues and related problems for the past day after two solid-state drives failed, the FreeDesktop.org GitLab that is used for the centralized, coordination of the open-source Linux graphics driver development and other open-source software is back online.

FreeDesktop.org's GitLab instance used for Mesa, Wayland, and X.Org development alongside dozens of other projects went down from 2+ SSDs crashing. The FreeDesktop.org administrators have spent the past nearly 24 hours working through the problems to get the service restored.

Fortunately, as of a short time ago, gitlab.freedesktop.org is back online.

FreeDesktop.org's Benjamin Tissoires and Daniel Stone have successfully been able to get the GitLab instance back online and seemingly with no data loss.
