You can use csi-plugin to mount and unmount volumes. By default, Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) allows you to mount the following types of volumes by using csi-plugin: disk volumes, Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) volumes, and Object Storage Service (OSS) volumes. This topic describes the release notes for csi-plugin.
Introduction
The csi-plugin component provided by Alibaba Cloud follows the standard specification of Container Storage Interface (CSI) and allows you to mount storage media such as disks, NAS file systems, and OSS buckets. By default, the latest version of csi-plugin is installed when you create ACK clusters of Kubernetes 1.16 or later. You can directly use csi-plugin to mount storage services provided by Alibaba Cloud after your cluster is created. The csi-plugin component supports volume lifecycle management. You can use csi-plugin to create, mount, unmount, delete, and expand volumes.
Usage notes
For more information about how to use csi-plugin, see CSI overview.
To use csi-plugin 1.22.8-8d3a569-aliyun and later versions, make sure that the Kubernetes version of your ACK cluster is later than 1.20.
To ensure the stability of clusters that run Kubernetes 1.20 or later, we recommend that you update csi-plugin in the clusters to 1.24.9-74f8490-aliyun or later.
The csi-plugin component in ACK Edge clusters support only NAS volumes.

If your cluster contains nodes that use CentOS 7.9 images and the xfs file system is used to persist data, do not update csi-plugin to this version or later. The kernel of CentOS 7.9 is outdated and no longer suitable for this csi-plugin version. In this case, if you update csi-plugin to this version or later, errors will be reported in the pods to which the xfs file system is mounted. Other file systems are not affected.
