Update. Privileged mode is now enabled by default, starting with the release of Kubernetes version 1.1, which is now available in the Google Container Engine.
Running privileged containers (including the NFS server in this example) is currently not possible in the Google Container Engine. We are considering ways to solve this problem (adding a flag when creating your cluster to provide privileged containers, creating privileged containers as part of access control, etc.). For now, if you need to run privileged containers, you need to start your own cluster using the GCE provider.
