NFS into Containers

I have a fairly cheap Synology system managing my spinning rust storage. Block storage over iSCSI didn't perform very well, so I ended up on NFS. NFS works very well, but unfortunately the support to mount a remote export just isn't there yet. You'll need to mount the NFS share on the host, push the mount into the container as a disk object, and adjust permissions as needed. Here's how I've accomplished this.

NFS SharesMount

Easy part! Share nfs as normal. This assumes you have the folder shared from the NFS server as share

mkdir -p /mnt/share
vim /etc/fstab
   ip.or.hostname:/volume1/share	/mnt/share	nfs4	defaults	0 0
mount /mnt/share
Prep Users & Permissions

Personally, I created system users and groups
