## Avoid using PostgreSQL with NFS
GitLab strongly recommends against running your PostgreSQL database
across NFS. The GitLab support team will not be able to assist on performance issues related to
this configuration.
Additionally, this configuration is specifically warned against in the
[
Postgres Documentation
](
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/creating-cluster.html#CREATING-CLUSTER-NFS
)
:
>PostgreSQL does nothing special for NFS file systems, meaning it assumes NFS behaves exactly like
>locally-connected drives. If the client or server NFS implementation does not provide standard file
>system semantics, this can cause reliability problems. Specifically, delayed (asynchronous) writes
>to the NFS server can cause data corruption problems.
For supported database architecture, please see our documentation on
