Section Number and Name: none

Describe the issue: 
In k8s/ocp you can use nfs directly by specifying the volume as type nfs:

       volumes:
       - name: VOLUME1
         nfs:
           path: /path/to/export
           server: <fqdn>

By default, the scc restricted has this disabled, but you can create a new scc to support that.
In origin 1.1.5 ( https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases/tag/v1.1.5 ) there is a release note about this:
Administrators can now limit what volume types users can use directly from within a Pod - by default, regular users are now forbidden from directly mounting any of the remote volume type (they must use a PVC)

Suggestions for improvement: 
Add a section on how to create a nfs volume type, scc, etc.
