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.

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	Leave it blank.	If enabled, obsfs allocates the inode number. Enabled by default in read/write mode.
big_writes	Leave it blank.	If configured, the maximum size of the cache can be modified.
nonempty	Leave it blank.	Allows non-empty mount paths.
allow_other	Leave it blank.	Allows other users to access the parallel file system.
no_check_certificate	Leave it blank.	Disables server certificate verification.
sigv2	Leave it 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	0	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.

Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.

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 located.
      everest.io/enterprise-project-id: <your_project_id>     # (Optional) Enterprise project ID. If an enterprise project is specified, use the same enterprise project when creating a PVC. Otherwise, the PVC cannot be bound to a PV.

    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

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.

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.

Use kubectl to connect to the cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.

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=027

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 Existing OBS Bucket Through a Static PV.
