**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.
