Configuring SFS Volume Mount Options

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.

Constraints

• Mount options cannot be configured for secure containers.
• Due to the restrictions of the NFS protocol, if an SFS volume is mounted to a node for multiple times, link-related mounting parameters (such as timeo) take effect only when the SFS volume is mounted for the first time. For example, if an SFS volume is mounted to multiple pods running on a node, the values of the mounting parameters configured later will not overwrite the existing parameter values.

SFS Volume Mount Options

The Everest add-on in CCE presets the options described in Table 1 for mounting SFS volumes.

You can set other mount options if needed. For details, see Mounting an NFS File System to ECSs (Linux).

Setting Mount Options in a PV

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

1. Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.
2. Set 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-sfs
   spec:
     accessModes:
     - ReadWriteMany      # Access mode. The value must be ReadWriteMany for SFS.
     capacity:
       storage: 1Gi     # SFS volume capacity.
     csi:
       driver: disk.csi.everest.io   # Dependent storage driver for the mounting.
       fsType: nfs
       volumeHandle: <your_volume_id>   # ID of the SFS Capacity-Oriented volume.
       volumeAttributes:
         everest.io/share-export-location: <your_location>  # Shared path of the SFS volume.
         storage.kubernetes.io/csiProvisionerIdentity: everest-csi-provisioner
     persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain    # Reclaim policy.
     storageClassName: csi-nas                # Storage class name.
     mountOptions:                            # Mount options.
     - vers=3
     - nolock
     - timeo=600
     - hard

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 SFS File System 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 run the mount -l command to check whether the mount options take effect.

   1. View the pod to which the SFS volume has been mounted. In this example, the workload name is web-sfs.

      kubectl get pod | grep web-sfs

      Command output:

      web-sfs-***   1/1     Running   0             23m

   2. Run the following command to check the mount options (web-sfs-*** is an example pod):

      kubectl exec -it web-sfs-*** -- mount -l | grep nfs

      If the mounting information in the command output is consistent with the configured mount options, the mount options are set successfully.

      <Your shared path> on /data type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,nolock,noresvport,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=**.**.**.**,mountvers=3,mountport=2050,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=all,addr=**.**.**.**)

Setting Mount Options in a StorageClass

You can use the mountOptions field to set mount options in a StorageClass. The options you can configure in mountOptions are listed in SFS Volume 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:

   apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
   kind: StorageClass
   metadata:
     name: csi-sfs-mount-option
   provisioner: everest-csi-provisioner
   parameters:
     csi.storage.k8s.io/csi-driver-name: nas.csi.everest.io
     csi.storage.k8s.io/fstype: nfs
   everest.io/share-access-to: <your_vpc_id> # VPC ID of the cluster.
   reclaimPolicy: Delete
   volumeBindingMode: Immediate
   mountOptions:                            # Mount options
   - vers=3
   - nolock
   - timeo=600
   - hard

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 SFS File System 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 run the mount -l command to check whether the mount options take effect.

   1. View the pod to which the SFS volume has been mounted. In this example, the workload name is web-sfs.

      kubectl get pod | grep web-sfs

      Command output:

      web-sfs-***   1/1     Running   0             23m

   2. Run the following command to check the mount options (web-sfs-*** is an example pod):

      kubectl exec -it web-sfs-*** -- mount -l | grep nfs

      If the mounting information in the command output is consistent with the configured mount options, the mount options are set successfully.

      <Your shared path> on /data type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,nolock,noresvport,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=**.**.**.**,mountvers=3,mountport=2050,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=all,addr=**.**.**.**)
