username-removed-5332 requested to merge bbodenmiller/gitlab-ce:patch-18 into master Mar 23, 2017

What does this MR do?

I don't think no_root_squash is required anymore based on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/689 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/settings/configuration.md#disable-storage-directories-management specifically:

Some types of mounts won't allow automatic creation of directories by root user (default user for initial setup), eg. NFS with root_squash enabled on the share. To work around this the omnibus-gitlab package will attempt to create these directories using the directory's owner user.
