If the matter is security related, please disclose it privately via --We saw this several times: after restarting kubelet, kubelet didn't creating new Pods. The healthz endpoint showed that the was stuck: From the stack trace, the goroutine was stuck in the call of when doing , so no other updates can be processed: Listing the volumes of orphaned Pods on this Node, there was an unresponsive NFS volume, stat it will hang forever, so the above goroutine should be stuck in cleaning up this Pod: The NFS server IP is a service IP, whose backend Pod happened to be scheduled to this Node. However, as was stuck, it didn't handle Pod Add/Update from apiserver and didn't create the backend Pod, hence a dead lock. Searched PR and issue history, it seems there were several ones fixing NFS volume issues but looks like not covering this case: (however reverted) (still open) Is there anyone still working on it? The main syncloop of kubelet shouldn't hang due to an unresponsive NFS volume, leading to no Pods can be created. Kubernetes version (use ): v1.20.5
/sig storage /sig node similar with and And the problem code is in According to and 's comments in , it will be removed later, but I checked the new code in mount-utils. The func is not changed: Possible fix to this would be something like below:

Hey Quick question: the links that you attached that could be possible fixes, were really helpful! Since the approach to check for wouldn't help here, a timeout based approach seems best, I'm a little unsure about what this timeout period could be for this case, any suggestions on the same?
I have no idea. you may ask sig-node guys in the slack or weekly meetings. Or send a PR and discuss it in the PR. The only nfs related timeout that I can found is 1 minute in
hit again, it‘s easy to reproduce if there is nfs service in the cluster.
