Constraints in the CCE and CCI scenarios

  • When general-purpose file systems are used as the storage backend of CCE or CCI, you need to empty the in-use file systems before you can delete any PVCs or PVs. If you directly delete the PVCs or PVs, the file systems may fail to be deleted. Check whether the file systems are deleted on the general-purpose file system console.
  • Deleting PVCs or PVs takes some time. The billing ends until the corresponding general-purpose file systems are deleted.

File locking with Flock

Not supported

Tag

  • You can add a maximum of 20 tags to a file system.
  • Tag keys of a file system must be unique.
