Document URL: ? 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. Additional information:
