Discussion:
What happened: I was running the subpath testsuite against Azurefile. This test failed and can be easily reproduced: Basically what this test does is: a PVC use azurefile a pod that has two containers. One of it mounts the volume itself. The second container mounts the subpath of the volume. the subpath dir from the container that has the whole volume the pod, the pod will stuck in terminating status and cannot be cleaned up other than What you expected to happen: The pod can be deleted successfully. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): the pvc the pod the subpath dir from the parent pod the pod Anything else we need to know?: The volume is being formatted as cifs type Environment: Kubernetes version (use ): v1.18.6 Cloud provider or hardware configuration: Azurefile-csi-driver 0.9.0 OS (e.g: ): Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel (e.g. ): Linux nodepool-- 5.4.0-1016-azure -Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 4 22:49:15 UTC 2020 x8664 x8664 x86_64 GNU/Linux Install tools: Network plugin and version (if this is a network-related bug): Others:

log After debugging with and offline, the issue is that: After the dir from the subpath was removed, the subpath mountpoint on the host machine becomes into a weird state where you can still find the dir by doing a readdir to its parent. But doing or something like that will result in a "No such file or directory". When you do a ls on the path:
/triage accepted
So the issue from code is that It will fail the path exists check while the actual mountpoint exists. So when the code logic runs to here: It will fail to remove the container dir because it somehow detect there is still file there. To fix this as a workaround, user can manually , and then the kubelet can take care of this. To fix it ultimately, we need to see if this is an issue specific to cifs filesystem? Or we should consider do an umount regardless if the path exists.

Tried the same scenario using NFS. It works as expected using NFS.
Yeah, that's why I am wondering if this is something special with CIFS?

Looks like it has something to do with the azurefile-csi storage class mount options. I was getting the below error when I was trying to do ls on the subpath. So I realized there might be some issue with the file permissions. root ls ls: cannot open directory '.': No such file or directory When I removed the dirmode and filemode properties from the storageclass and performed the same steps as mentioned in the issue, the pod got deleted successfully.(Although it took a lot of time 10-15 mins for the pod to get deleted)
FYI, I am planning to use this PR to fix the unmount issue in Azure File & SMB CSI driver: Not sure how to handle gracefully in k8s subPath code since that's common code.

So this PR does not fix the Azurefile subpath test issue?
no, that PR only fixed the unmount issue inside CSI driver. While for the subPath issue, we should fix it in k8s upstream code as you mentioned above:

back to original discussion, shall we use instead of inside func? That will solve the issue of smb file PathExists check issue.
