Configuring OBS Mount Options

This section describes how to configure OBS volume mount options. You can configure mount options in a PV and bind the PV to a PVC. Alternatively, configure mount options in a StorageClass and use the StorageClass to create a PVC. In this way, PVs can be dynamically created and inherit mount options configured in the StorageClass by default.

Prerequisites

The CCE Container Storage (Everest) add-on version must be 1.2.8 or later. This add-on identifies the mount options and transfers them to the underlying storage resources. The parameter settings take effect only if the underlying storage resources support the specified options.

OBS Mount Options

When mounting an OBS volume, the Everest add-on presets the options described in Table 1 and Table 2 by default. The options in Table 1 are mandatory.

Table 1 Mandatory mount options configured by default

Parameter

Value

Description

use_ino

Blank

If enabled, obsfs allocates the inode number. Enabled by default in read/write mode.

big_writes

Blank

If configured, the maximum size of the cache can be modified.

nonempty

Blank

Allows non-empty mount paths.

allow_other

Blank

Allows other users to access the parallel file system.

no_check_certificate

Blank

Disables server certificate verification.

enable_noobj_cache

Blank

Enables cache entries for objects that do not exist, which can improve performance. Enabled by default in object bucket read/write mode.

This option is no longer configured by default since Everest 1.2.40.

sigv2

Blank

Specifies the signature version. Used by default in object buckets.

public_bucket

1

If this parameter is set to 1, public buckets are mounted anonymously. Enabled by default in object bucket read-only mode.

Table 2 Optional mount options configured by default

Parameter

Value

Description

max_write

131072

This parameter is valid only when big_writes is configured. The recommended value is 128 KB.

ssl_verify_hostname

0

Disables SSL certificate verification based on the host name.

max_background

100

Allows setting the maximum number of waiting requests in the background. Used by default in parallel file systems.

umask

A three-digit octal number

Mask of the configuration file permission.

For example, if the umask value is 022, the directory permission (the maximum permission is 777) is 755 (777 - 022 = 755, rwxr-xr-x).

Configuring Mount Options in a PV

You can use the mountOptions field to configure mount options in a PV. The options you can configure in mountOptions are listed in OBS Mount Options.

  1. Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.
  2. Configure mount options in a PV. Example:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolume
    metadata:
      annotations:
        pv.kubernetes.io/provisioned-by: everest-csi-provisioner
        everest.io/reclaim-policy: retain-volume-only      # (Optional) The PV is deleted while the underlying volume is retained.
      name: pv-obs       # PV name.
    spec:
      accessModes:
      - ReadWriteMany    # Access mode. The value must be ReadWriteMany for OBS.
      capacity:
        storage: 1Gi     # OBS volume capacity.
      csi:
        driver: obs.csi.everest.io        # Dependent storage driver for the mounting.
        fsType: obsfs                     # Instance type.
        volumeHandle: <your_volume_id>    # Name of the OBS volume.
        volumeAttributes:
          storage.kubernetes.io/csiProvisionerIdentity: everest-csi-provisioner
          everest.io/obs-volume-type: STANDARD
          everest.io/region: <your_region>                        # Region where the OBS volume is.
    
        nodePublishSecretRef:            # Custom secret of the OBS volume.
          name: <your_secret_name>       # Custom secret name.
          namespace: <your_namespace>    # Namespace of the custom secret.
      persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain    # Reclaim policy.
      storageClassName: csi-obs               # Storage class name.
      mountOptions:                            # Mount options.
      - umask=027

  3. After a PV is created, you can create a PVC and bind it to the PV, and then mount the PV to the container in the workload. For details, see Using an Existing OBS Bucket Through a Static PV.
  4. Check whether the mount options take effect.

    In this example, the PVC is mounted to the workload that uses the nginx:latest image. You can log in to the node where the pod to which the OBS volume is mounted resides and view the progress details.

    Run the following command:
    • Object bucket: ps -ef | grep s3fs
      root     22142     1  0 Jun03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/s3fs {your_obs_name} /mnt/paas/kubernetes/kubelet/pods/{pod_uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/{your_pv_name}/mount -o url=https://{endpoint}:443 -o endpoint={region} -o passwd_file=/opt/everest-host-connector/***_obstmpcred/{your_obs_name} -o nonempty -o big_writes -o sigv2 -o allow_other -o no_check_certificate -o ssl_verify_hostname=0 -o umask=027 -o max_write=131072 -o multipart_size=20
    • Parallel file system: ps -ef | grep obsfs
      root      1355     1  0 Jun03 ?        00:03:16 /usr/bin/obsfs {your_obs_name} /mnt/paas/kubernetes/kubelet/pods/{pod_uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/{your_pv_name}/mount -o url=https://{endpoint}:443 -o endpoint={region} -o passwd_file=/opt/everest-host-connector/***_obstmpcred/{your_obs_name} -o allow_other -o nonempty -o big_writes -o use_ino -o no_check_certificate -o ssl_verify_hostname=0 -o max_background=100 -o umask=027 -o max_write=131072

Configuring Mount Options in a StorageClass

You can use the mountOptions field to configure mount options in a StorageClass. The options you can configure in mountOptions are listed in OBS Mount Options.

  1. Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.
  2. Create a customized StorageClass. Example:

    kind: StorageClass
    apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
    metadata:
      name: csi-obs-mount-option
    provisioner: everest-csi-provisioner
    parameters:
      csi.storage.k8s.io/csi-driver-name: obs.csi.everest.io
      csi.storage.k8s.io/fstype: s3fs
      everest.io/obs-volume-type: STANDARD
    reclaimPolicy: Delete
    volumeBindingMode: Immediate
    mountOptions:                            # Mount options.
    - umask=0027

  3. After the StorageClass is configured, you can use it to create a PVC. By default, the dynamically created PVs inherit the mount options configured in the StorageClass. For details, see Using an OBS Bucket Through a Dynamic PV.
  4. Check whether the mount options take effect.

    In this example, the PVC is mounted to the workload that uses the nginx:latest image. You can log in to the node where the pod to which the OBS volume is mounted resides and view the progress details.

    Run the following command:
    • Object bucket: ps -ef | grep s3fs
      root     22142     1  0 Jun03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/s3fs {your_obs_name} /mnt/paas/kubernetes/kubelet/pods/{pod_uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/{your_pv_name}/mount -o url=https://{endpoint}:443 -o endpoint={region} -o passwd_file=/opt/everest-host-connector/***_obstmpcred/{your_obs_name} -o nonempty -o big_writes -o sigv2 -o allow_other -o no_check_certificate -o ssl_verify_hostname=0 -o umask=027 -o max_write=131072 -o multipart_size=20
    • Parallel file system: ps -ef | grep obsfs
      root      1355     1  0 Jun03 ?        00:03:16 /usr/bin/obsfs {your_obs_name} /mnt/paas/kubernetes/kubelet/pods/{pod_uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/{your_pv_name}/mount -o url=https://{endpoint}:443 -o endpoint={region} -o passwd_file=/opt/everest-host-connector/***_obstmpcred/{your_obs_name} -o allow_other -o nonempty -o big_writes -o use_ino -o no_check_certificate -o ssl_verify_hostname=0 -o max_background=100 -o umask=027 -o max_write=131072
