Document restic nuances with NFS volumes and root_squash #179

@dymurray

Description

@dymurray

With root_squash, restic will be mapped to nfsnobody and will not have enough permissions to perform the backup/restore. This has been documented in our MTC product as well as customers also required the use of root_squash and ran into some issues (see here: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.7/migration_toolkit_for_containers/troubleshooting-mtc.html#restic-permission-error-when-migrating-from-nfs-storage-with-root-squash-enabled_troubleshooting-mtc).

There are 2 ways to get around this issue:

  1. Use supplemental groups and apply this same supplemental group to the restic daemonset (this change will need to be submitted to OADP as well to mimic MTC, which shouldn't be an issue if this is strongly desired)
  2. Set no_root_squash
