For example, here and are nginx pods each connected to a different PVC, which are backed by LUNs residing on the same NetApp storage system. These share a single iSCSI session, differing only by LUN number. Once pod2 is deleted, all the connected LUNs are no longer available.

Could someone from please take a look? Thanks!
looking...
It looks like the problem is in line 86 of , in the function. The check evaluates whether a given mount path starts with the prefix (protocol + target portal + target IQN) for the LUN; this will always evaluate to false in most set-ups, since each path will look something like . Changing to appears to result in the correct behavior.
The problem is that the mount device shown in /proc/mounts are canonicalized, and thus when searching device prefix, iscsi volume failed to find a match. If we can use mount option, this the device will show up in /proc/mounts. But this is not a reliable fix since there are probable mpio paths too.
If I'm reading the code correctly, the function doesn't look at the actual device that's backing the mount point; it looks at the mount path (i.e., the second token in /proc/mounts, rather than the first). Thus, the change I proposed (HasPrefix -Contains) appears to work with some very basic testing. That said, I've not done anything with multipathing, so there may be something I'm missing; in addition, I suppose there's a chance that Contains may trigger false positives.
I see your point, yes that sounds right to me.
I think in this case, mpio device should work too (since the mount path constructed in the same way). I see you have yet another iscsi issue open, I am good with rescan. Can you create a pr to fix them?
I should be able create a PR for this issue; the LUN rescan PR will probably get handled by someone else on my team. Is the fix itself sufficient, or does it require tests?
thanks, the rescan fix doesn't have to unit test. The mount path fix needs also a unit test fix here

Kernel (e.g. ): Linux centos7 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x8664 SMP Wed Jan 18 13:06:36 UTC 2017 x8664 x8664 x8664 GNU/Linux; kernel 3.16.0-77-generic What happened: On a host where an iSCSI LUN from a given target is mounted in a pod, a user who creates a new LUN on the same target and attempts to create a pod that mounts the new LUN will fail to create the pod. Specifically, depending on the operating system, the pod will hang in the ContainerCreating stage with either a "Could not attach disk: Timeout after 10s" error (CentOS 7) or an error about establishing a session when one already exists (Ubuntu 14). What you expected to happen: The pod should successfully mount the LUN. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Given a working iSCSI target and a single node Kubernetes cluster: a LUN on the iSCSI target a pod that uses the LUN from step 1 (either natively or through a PV/PVC) a new LUN on the iSCSI target (note that the target portal and IQN must be identical). a pod that uses the LUN from step 3. The pod created in step 4 will fail to start.

Anything else we need to know: As far as I can tell, this is due to a bug with the Kubernetes iSCSI implementation. The AttachDisk() function in first checks if the LUN exists in /dev/disk/by-path/; if it doesn't, it attempts to log in to the target and recheck for the LUN's existence (lines 123-138 in the 1.5 branch). In this case, though, the session already exists, as it was created with the pod in step 2. In Ubuntu, attempting to log in a second time triggers an error, which gets reported in the pod description. In CentOS 7, this gets treated as a NOP; however, the new LUN will never become visible, and thus, the pod will fail to start. This can be solved manually by logging into the host and running . It should be possible to fix it in Kubernetes by adding a check in AttachDisk() to see if a session already exists for the target portal and IQN and, if so, doing a rescan of the session.
Could someone from please help with triage? Thanks!
