+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Storage errors when updating `gitlab-omnibus` versions prior to 0.1.35
+
+Users upgrading `gitlab-omnibus` from a version prior to 0.1.35, may see an error like: `Error: UPGRADE FAILED: PersistentVolumeClaim "gitlab-gitlab-config-storage" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: field is immutable after creation`.
+
+This is due to a change in the access mode for GitLab storage in version 0.1.35. To successfully upgrade, the access mode flags must be set to `ReadWriteMany` as detailed in the [update section](#updating-gitlab-using-the-helm-chart).
