Description Natalie Gavrielov 2020-01-22 14:56:58 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1793132 +++

Description of problem:
hostpath-provisioner - PV doesn't get removed after deleting DV (when attempting to run out of space)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CNV 2.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to run out of space by creating DataVolumes on a specific node.
(import an image from HTTP, image type: qcow2.xz/gz)

2. When space runs out, the importer pod gets stuck in "Pending" status.
oc get pods -w

3. Attempt to delete the DataVolume which should cause space to run out:
oc delete dv <DV_NAME>

4. Check that associated PV is removed:
oc get pv

Actual results:
Associated PV isn't removed (PVC is).

Expected results:
DataVolume is deleted successfully with its PVC and PV.

Additional info:
Storage type used: hostpath-provisioner

1) Also tested this with qcow2 images, getting inconsistent behavior:
Run #1:
The importer pod was stuck in "Pending", but no PV was created.
Deleted the DV successfully.
After that, tried to create a 4Gi DV (assuming there is enough space now) - importer pod gets stuck in "Pending" status.
Run #2:
The importer pod was stuck in "Pending", and PV was created.
Deleted the DV successfully - PVC, PV deleted too.
Proceeded to create a new small DV - importer pod gets stuck in “Pending”.
Run #3:
Same behavior as qcow2.xz/gz

2) After deleting the DV, I attempted to create a new small DV on the same node.
The importer pod for this process is stuck in "Pending".
Eventually (~25 minutes) the node status changes to "NotReady".
oc get nodes output:

[cnv-qe-jenkins@cnv-executor-alex22 cnv2329]$ oc get nodes

--- Additional comment from Natalie Gavrielov on 2020-01-22 13:23:56 UTC ---

We should have a release note once we have a workaround for this.

Comment 1 Adam Litke 2020-02-06 20:29:57 UTC
This should be fixed when 1796342 is resolved.

Comment 2 Adam Litke 2020-02-06 20:31:49 UTC
I suspect what is happening is that I/O is still being written back to the underlying storage and therefore the file cannot be removed.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1796342 for details.

Comment 3 Alex Kalenyuk 2020-03-03 16:24:15 UTC
Verified on CNV 2.3, OCP 4.4:
Following the instructions in docs - https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/19846/files
Node doesn't go down, pod no longer gets stuck in "Pending", instead it is "Running" and log shows 
an error about not having enough space.
