@wduan, the fix in 4.8 is huge and may introduce regressions. Do we really want this fixed in 4.7? So far, we did not see any customers hitting this issue and we have documented that manual PV cleanup is needed.
As this is the last step(user want to delete the pvc/pv) and we have the documented the manual step, I agree to close it if we have risk to fix it.
Thanks for your response. Closing for now, we may reconsider if there is a strong customer request.
I reopened this BZ, because ideally speaking if a PVC is deleted then corresponding PV should become Available. It should be consistent with how LocalVolume objects behave and manual cleanup steps don't cover deletion of PVCs, they are for deletion of LocalVolume or LocalVolumeSet objects.
I'll make a direct fix for 4.7 that doesn't depend on the large changes for 4.8. It's probably a watching issue.
