I’m attempting to move the git-data repositories folder from its default location (/var/opt/gitlab/git-data) to an alternative location (/media/data/git-data).
I’ve followed the guide at
https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html#storing-git-data-in-an-alternative-directory
Setting the following in gitlab.rb
git_data_dirs({ "default" => { "path" => "/media/data/git-data" } })
However, when I attempt to run sudo gitlab-ctl upgrade I get an error on reconfigure.
Full output:

Upgrade complete! If your GitLab server is misbehaving try running
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
before anything else.
If you need to roll back to the previous version you can use the database
backup made during the upgrade (scroll up for the filename).```
