This leaves orphaned mount points on the kubelet boxes and the kubelets looping trying and remove them.

What you expected to happen: The kubelet should successfully remove the mountpoints. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Example deployment with with a heketi/glusterfs storageclass. gluster- To reproduce : kubectl create -f gluster- <wait for all containers to come upkubectl delete -f gluster- This will cause heketi to remove the glusterfs volume before some of the pods have umounted it. All mount points still online will error with: 'transport endpoint is not connected' These can still be umounted, however the way the code is written it will try to "stat" the mount point before trying the umount. This will error with something like the following: This will prevent the umount and pod cleanup. Anything else we need to know: The code looks something like this: I realise the importance of checking to see if a mountpoint is still up before removing it. My first thoughts were to restrict the stat checks to only error if the mount point didn't actually exist. Also checking /proc/mounts seems like a more reliable method for checking if something is mounted on linux.
Would prevent this scenario?
