@@ -7,21 +7,20 @@ supported natively in NFS version 4. NFSv3 also supports locking as long as
Linux Kernel 2.6.5+ is used. We recommend using version 4 and do not
specifically test NFSv3.
**no_root_squash**
: NFS normally changes the
`root`
user to
`nobody`
. This is
a good security measure when NFS shares will be accessed by many different
users. However, in this case only GitLab will use the NFS share so it
is safe. GitLab requires the
`no_root_squash`
setting because we need to
manage file permissions automatically. Without the setting you will receive
errors when the Omnibus package tries to alter permissions. Note that GitLab
and other bundled components do
**not**
run as
`root`
but as non-privileged
users. The requirement for
`no_root_squash`
is to allow the Omnibus package to
set ownership and permissions on files, as needed.
### Recommended options
When you define your NFS exports, we recommend you also add the following
options:
-
`no_root_squash`
- NFS normally changes the
`root`
user to
`nobody`
. This is

users. However, in this case only GitLab will use the NFS share so it

-
`sync`
- Force synchronous behavior. Default is asynchronous and under certain
circumstances it could lead to data loss if a failure occurs before data has
synced.
