Gitaly-on-NFS staging test plan

How will we test this on staging with 9.1. RCx.

  • make sure Gitaly over TCP works in omnibus
  • test with localhost
  • test with remote host and different repository root
  • instructions to prepare staging
  • wait for package with all required capabilities to be deployed on staging
  • schedule time with someone with production access to run experiments on staging

Parallel production issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/1777
