I’m runnung ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04
I’ve mounted the windows share on /mnt/git-data
I’ve addded this to the /etc/fstab
//windows-share/git-data /mnt/git-data cifs uid=git,gid=git,credentials=.cifscre,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
And changed the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb 's git_data_dir to /mnt/git-data
and ran the sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure but gives this error
Looks like the git user does not have permission to change the directory’s chmod
However the repositoty directory is created inside the /mnt/git-data directory
Could someone help on the configuration?

Similar issue for me for both CIFS and NFS. In my case, I’m attempting to use the gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest docker image. The docker host machine mounts a share on the NAS which is used to persist any container data. But something about the mounted folders prevents certain chown operations for working as ruby expects.
With NFS I get:

Of several applications, GitLab is the only one that has an issue with this setup. I may just allow the data to be persisted in a folder structure directly on the host machine, but I’m very much not fond of that, since it means a separate mechanism running on the host to back up the data to the NAS.
