This issue was previously reported in Ceph CSI plugin upstream and was closed as NOTABUG,
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/issues/2890

At any rate, this is not a systemd bug so let's move this to OCP for further analysis.

Moving to ODF, they maintain the CephFS CSI driver.

> Description of problem:
> CephFS CSI plugin pod can't mount RBD PVC due systemd error:

The systemd error is not the cause, the error that is reported is a warning, and mounting is retried a different way after that.

As Michal mentions in comment #5, this is not a bug in Ceph-CSI, rather confusing logging from the https://github.com/kubernetes/mount-utils package.


We'll need more logs to identify the real error. Please provide the full logs of the NodeStagsVolume procedure, or ideally an ocs-must-gather archive for our inspection.

Backport https://github.com/red-hat-storage/ceph-csi/pull/110 will be included in ODF-4.12

This reduces the number of confusing systemd errors, but only for the NodeStageVolume call, not NodeGetVolumeStats. Some of the non-errors will likely still get reported. I expect that the support team documents this in one of their KCS solutions so that customers can find details about the messages and won't be concerned about it.

*** Bug 2105963 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111083 has been posted for inclusion into the k8s.io/mount-utils package. That package is responsible for the scary logging that is included in Ceph-CSI. Once that PR is merged, and a new Kubernetes release contains the change, Ceph-CSI can update the package and the logs should be gone in the NodeGetVolumeStats procedure too.

A test-image with updated (current master branch) k8s.io/mount-utils package is available at quay.io/nixpanic/cephcsi:no-systemd
This container-image is based on current Ceph-CSI upstream, but that should not matter for checking the logs while mounting and gathering stats.

logs containing NodeStageVolume and NodeVolumeGetStats calls

This is the log from a csi-cephfsplugin container that was used for NodeStageVolume (mount) and NodeGetVolumeStats (Kubelet metrics) procedures. With the test container-image that contains the updated k8s.io/mount-utils package, no scary systemd messages are logged.

This bug was reported for (confusing) log messages in the CephFS components of the Ceph-CSI driver. Everything to remove those has been included in the upcoming builds of ODF-4.12.

Enhancements for the same log messages in RBD have been proposed, but those changes still need to get included in the Kubernetes project before it can be addressed by Ceph-CSI.

From my point of view, this BZ can be veriefied by QE on CephFS once a ODF-4.12 build is available.

To verify the fixes:

1. create a CephFS PVC
2. use the CephFS PVC with a Pod to have it mounted
3. identify the csi-cephfsplugin DaemonSet running on the worker node
4. gather the logs of the csi-cephfsplugin container of the DaemonSet

The logs of the csi-cephfsplugin (`cephcsi` executable) contain the NodeStageVolume and NodeGetVolumeStats for the volume. The logs with the request ID for the procedures should not contain any of the warning messages.

Note that the NodeGetVolumeStats procedure is executed by Kubelet at some interval. If the log does not contain a NodeGetVolumeStats call, leave the Pod running for a little longer and check again.

Tested on 4.12.091 following the steps in comment #32.
- "NodeStageVolume" and "NodeGetVolumeStats" were found in the logs.
- None of the warning messages was found
