Configuring SFS Volume Mount Options

This section describes how to configure SFS 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.

SFS Volume Mount Options

CCE Autopilot presets the options described in Table 1 for mounting SFS volumes.

Table 1 SFS volume mount options

Parameter

Value

Description

keep-original-ownership

Leave it blank.

Whether to retain the ownership of the file mount point.

  • By default, this option is not added, and the mount point ownership is root:root when SFS is mounted.
  • If this option is added, the original ownership of the file system is retained when SFS is mounted.

vers

3

File system version. Currently, only NFSv3 is supported. Value: 3

nolock

Leave it blank.

Whether to lock files on the server using the NLM protocol. If nolock is selected, the lock is valid for applications on one host. For applications on another host, the lock is invalid.

timeo

600

Waiting time before the NFS client retransmits a request. The unit is 0.1 seconds. Recommended value: 600

hard/soft

Leave it blank.

Mount mode.

  • hard: If the NFS request times out, the client keeps resending the request until the request is successful.
  • soft: If the NFS request times out, the client returns an error to the invoking program.

The default value is hard.

sharecache/nosharecache

Leave it blank.

How the data cache and attribute cache are shared when one file system is concurrently mounted to different clients. If this parameter is set to sharecache, the caches are shared between the mountings. If this parameter is set to nosharecache, the caches are not shared, and one cache is configured for each client mounting. The default value is sharecache.

NOTE:

The nosharecache setting will affect the performance. The mounting information must be obtained for each mounting, which increases the communication overhead with the NFS server and the memory consumption of the NFS clients. In addition, the nosharecache setting on the NFS clients may lead to inconsistent caches. Determine whether to use nosharecache based on site requirements.

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

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 SFS Volume 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-sfs
    spec:
      accessModes:
      - ReadWriteMany      # Access mode. The value must be ReadWriteMany for SFS.
      capacity:
        storage: 1Gi     # SFS volume capacity.
      csi:
        driver: nas.csi.everest.io    # Dependent storage driver for the mounting
        fsType: nfs
        volumeHandle: <your_volume_id>   # ID of the SFS 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-sfs               # Storage class name. csi-sfs indicates that SFS 3.0 is used.
      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 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 have been configured.

      <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=**.**.**.**)

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 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 have been configured.

      <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=**.**.**.**)
