+# Cloud Object Storage
+
+GitLab supports utilizing a Cloud Object Storage service over [NFS](nfs.md) for holding

+typically much more performant and reliable.

+1. Make sure the [`git` user home directory](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html#moving-the-home-directory-for-a-user) is on local disk.
