The Container Storage Interface (CSI) plug-in of Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) allows you to mount a dynamically provisioned Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) volume to an ACK cluster in subpath or filesystem mode in the ACK console or by using kubectl. This topic describes how to mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume to an ACK cluster. This topic also describes how to test whether the NAS volume can persist and share data as expected.
Prerequisites
An ACK cluster is created. For more information, see Create an ACK managed cluster.
The CSI plug-in is updated to the latest version. For more information, see Install and upgrade the CSI plug-in.
Use scenarios
Your application requires high disk I/O.
You need a storage service that offers higher read and write throughput than Object Storage Service (OSS).
You want to share files across hosts. For example, you want to use a NAS file system as a file server.
Limits
NAS is a shared storage service. A PVC that is used to mount a NAS file system can be used by multiple pods.
Do not delete the mount target before you unmount the NAS file system. Otherwise, the operating system hang may occur.
After a mount target is created, wait until the state of the mount target changes to Available.
We recommend that you use NFSv3.
Before you use NAS volumes, we recommend that you upgrade the CSI plug-in to the latest version.
General-purpose and Extreme NAS file systems have different limits on mounting scenarios, the number of file systems, and file sharing protocols. For more information, see Limits.
Considerations
NAS is a shared storage service. A persistent volume claim (PVC) that is used to mount a NAS file system can be shared among pods. For more information about the limits on concurrent writes to NAS, see How do I prevent exceptions that may occur when multiple processes or clients concurrently write data to a log file? and How do I resolve the latency in writing data to an NFS file system?
To mount an Extreme NAS file system, set the
path
parameter in the StorageClass of the NAS volume to a subdirectory of /share. For example, a value of0cd8b4a576-g****.cn-hangzhou.nas.aliyuncs.com:/share/subpath
indicates that the mounted subdirectory of the NAS file system is/share/subpath
.The capacity of the PVC that is used to mount a NAS file system takes effect only when the file system type is General-purpose and the
allowVolumeExpansion
parameter of the StorageClass is set totrue
. In this case, CSI sets the quota of a NAS directory based on the PVC capacity. The actual quota is calculated by rounding up the PVC capacity to the next integer. The quota is measured in GiB.The NAS directory quota takes effect asynchronously. After a persistent volume (PV) is dynamically provisioned, the directory quota does not immediately take effect, and the quota may be exceeded if a large amount of data is written within a short period of time. For more information about NAS directory quotas, see Manage directory quotas.
If the securityContext.fsgroup parameter is set in the application template, the kubelet performs the
chmod
orchown
operation after the volume is mounted, which increases the time consumption.NoteFor more information about how to accelerate the mounting when the
securityContext.fsgroup
parameter is set, see Why does it require a long time to mount a NAS volume?
Mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume
The CSI plug-in allows you to mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume in subpath or filesystem mode in the ACK console or by using kubectl.
subpath mode: You can use the ACK console or kubectl to mount NAS volumes in subpath mode.
If multiple applications or pods need to use the same NAS volume to share data, or you want to mount different subdirectories of a NAS file system to different pods, you can use the subpath mode.
filesystem mode: You can use only kubectl to mount NAS volumes in filesystem mode.
If your application needs to dynamically create and delete NAS file systems and mount targets, you can use the filesystem mode.
Mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume in subpath mode in the ACK console
Step 1: Create a NAS file system and a mount target
To mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume in subpath mode, you must create a NAS file system and a mount target.
Log on to the NAS console
Create a NAS file system. For more information, see Create a file system.
NoteIf you want to encrypt data in a NAS volume, configure the encryption settings when you create the NAS file system.
Create a mount target in the virtual private cloud (VPC) where the cluster nodes are deployed. For more information, see Manage mount targets.
Step 2: Create a StorageClass
Log on to the ACK console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
On the Clusters page, click the name of the cluster that you want to manage and choose in the left-side navigation pane.
In the upper-right corner of the StorageClasses page, click Create.

totrue
, the PV and NAS file system associated with a PVC are renamed and retained after you delete the PVC.If you set
archiveOnDelete
tofalse
, the PV and NAS file system associated with a PVC are deleted after you delete the PVC.
Retain mode: When a PVC is deleted, the related PV and NAS file system are retained and can only be manually deleted.
If you require higher data security, we recommend that you use the Retain mode to prevent data loss caused by user errors.
Mount Options
The mount options, such as the Network File System (NFS) version.
We recommend that you use v3. Extreme NAS file systems support only v3 For more information about the NFS protocol, see NFS.
Mount Path
The mount path of the NAS file system.
After you set the parameters, click Create.
After the StorageClass is created, you can view the StorageClass on the StorageClasses page.

. This value indicates that the subdirectory or files are not deleted when the PVC is deleted. Instead, the subdirectory or files are renamed in the format ofarchived-{pvName}.{timestamp}
.If the value is set to
false
, the backend storage is deleted when the PVC is deleted.
NoteWe recommend that you do not set the value to false when the service receives a large amount of network traffic. For more information, see What do I do if the task queue of alicloud-nas-controller is full and PVs cannot be created when I use a dynamically provisioned NAS volume?.
Run the following command to create a StorageClass:
kubectl create -f alicloud-nas-subpath.yaml
Run the following command to create a PVC:
Create a file named pvc.yaml and copy the following content to the file:
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: nas-csi-pvc spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany storageClassName: alicloud-nas-subpath resources: requests: storage: 20Gi

storage
The storage that is claimed by the PVC.
ImportantThis parameter does not limit the storage that the application can use. In addition, the storage claimed by the PVC does not automatically increase. Quotas are set on the subdirectory of the mounted NAS file system only if the file system is a General-purpose NAS file system and the
allowVolumeExpasion
parameter of the StorageClass is set to true.Run the following command to create a PVC:
kubectl create -f pvc.yaml
Create applications.
Create two applications named nginx-1 and nginx-2 to share the same subdirectory of the NAS file system.
Create a file named nginx-1.yml and copy the following content to the file:
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: deployment-nas-1 labels: app: nginx-1 spec: selector: matchLabels: app: nginx-1 template: metadata: labels: app: nginx-1 spec: containers: - name: nginx image: nginx:1.7.9 ports: - containerPort: 80 volumeMounts: - name: nas-pvc mountPath: "/data" volumes: - name: nas-pvc persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: nas-csi-pvc
mountPath
: the path where the NAS file system is mounted in the container.claimName
: the name of the PVC that the application uses to mount the NAS file system. In this example, the value is set to nas-csi-pvc.
Create a file named nginx-2.yml and copy the following content to the file:
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: deployment-nas-2 labels: app: nginx-2 spec: selector: matchLabels: app: nginx-2 template: metadata: labels: app: nginx-2 spec: containers: - name: nginx image: nginx:1.7.9 ports: - containerPort: 80 volumeMounts: - name: nas-pvc mountPath: "/data" volumes: - name: nas-pvc persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: nas-csi-pvc
mountPath
: the path where the NAS file system is mounted in the container. In this example, the value is set to /data.claimName
: Enter the name of the PVC that is used by nginx-1. In this example, the value is set to nas-csi-pvc.
Run the following command to deploy applications nginx-1 and nginx-2:
kubectl create -f nginx-1.yaml -f nginx-2.yaml
Run the following command to query the pods that are created for the applications:
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** 1/1 Running 0 32s deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** 1/1 Running 0 32s
NoteThe subdirectory
0cd8b4a576-g****.cn-hangzhou.nas.aliyuncs.com:/share/nas-79438493-f3e0-11e9-bbe5-00163e09****
of the NAS volume is mounted to the /data directory of podsdeployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
anddeployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4****
. The following information is displayed:/share
: the subdirectory that is specified in the StorageClass configurations.nas-79438493-f3e0-11e9-bbe5-00163e09****
: the name of the PV.
To mount different subdirectories of a NAS file system to different pods, you must create a PVC for each pod. To do this, you can create pvc-1 for nginx-1 and create pvc-2 for nginx-2.
Mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume in filesystem mode by using kubectl
By default, if you delete a PV that is mounted in filesystem mode, the system retains the related NAS file system and mount target. To delete the NAS file system and mount target together with the PV, set reclaimPolicy
to Delete
and set deleteVolume
to true
in the StorageClass configurations.
When you mount a NAS volume to a pod in filesystem mode, you can create only one NAS file system and one mount target. The following procedure shows how to mount a dynamically provisioned NAS volume in filesystem mode.
Optional: Configure a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy and attach it to the RAM role assigned to your cluster.
If you use an ACK dedicated cluster, you must perform this step. If you use an ACK managed cluster, skip this step.
The filesystem mode allows you to dynamically create and delete NAS file systems and mount targets. To perform these operations in an ACK dedicated cluster, you must grant the required permissions to csi-provisioner. The following code block shows a RAM policy that contains the required permissions:
{ "Action": [ "nas:DescribeMountTargets", "nas:CreateMountTarget", "nas:DeleteFileSystem", "nas:DeleteMountTarget", "nas:CreateFileSystem" ], "Resource": [ "*" ], "Effect": "Allow" }
You can grant the permissions by using one of the following methods:
Attach the preceding RAM policy to the master RAM role of your ACK dedicated cluster. For more information, see ACK roles.
Create a RAM user and attach the preceding RAM policy to the RAM user. Then, generate an AccessKey pair and specify the AccessKey pair in the
env
variable in the csi-provisioner configurations. For more information, see ACK roles.env: - name: CSI_ENDPOINT value: unix://socketDir/csi.sock - name: ACCESS_KEY_ID value: "" - name: ACCESS_KEY_SECRET value: ""
Create a StorageClass.
Create a file named alicloud-nas-fs.yaml and copy the following content to the file:
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: alicloud-nas-fs mountOptions: - nolock,tcp,noresvport - vers=3 parameters: volumeAs: filesystem fileSystemType: standard storageType: Performance regionId: cn-beijing zoneId: cn-beijing-e vpcId: "vpc-2ze2fxn6popm8c2mzm****" vSwitchId: "vsw-2zwdg25a2b4y5juy****" accessGroupName: DEFAULT_VPC_GROUP_NAME deleteVolume: "false" provisioner: nasplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com reclaimPolicy: Retain
Parameter
Description
volumeAs
The mount mode of the NAS file system. Valid values:
filesystem: The provisioner automatically creates a NAS file system. Each PV corresponds to a NAS file system.
subpath: The provisioner automatically creates a subdirectory in a NAS file system. Each PV corresponds to a subdirectory of the NAS file system.
fileSystemType
The type of NAS file system. Valid values:
standard: General-purpose NAS file system
extreme: Extreme NAS file system
Default value: standard.
storageType
The storage type of NAS file system.
If fileSystemType is set to standard, the valid values are Performance and Capacity. Default value: Performance.
If fileSystemType is set to extreme, the valid values are standard and advance. Default value: standard.

zoneId
The ID of the zone to which the NAS file system belongs.
vpcId
The ID of the VPC to which the mount target of the NAS file system belongs.
vSwitchId
The ID of the vSwitch to which the mount target of the NAS file system belongs.
accessGroupName
The permission group to which the mount target of the NAS file system belongs. Default value: DEFAULT_VPC_GROUP_NAME.
deleteVolume
The reclaim policy of the NAS file system when the related PV is deleted. NAS is a shared storage service. Therefore, you must specify both deleteVolume and reclaimPolicy to ensure data security.
provisioner
The type of the storage driver that is used to provision the volume. In this example, the parameter is set to
nasplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com
. This indicates that the CSI plug-in provided by Alibaba Cloud is used.reclaimPolicy
The reclaim policy of the PV. When you delete a PVC, the related NAS file system is automatically deleted only if you set deleteVolume to true and reclaimPolicy to Delete.
Run the following command to create a StorageClass:
kubectl create -f alicloud-nas-fs.yaml
Create a PVC and pods to mount a NAS volume.
Create a file named pvc.yaml and copy the following content to the file:
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: nas-csi-pvc-fs spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany storageClassName: alicloud-nas-fs resources: requests: storage: 20Gi
Create a file named nginx.yaml and copy the following content to the file:
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: deployment-nas-fs labels: app: nginx spec: selector: matchLabels: app: nginx template: metadata: labels: app: nginx spec: containers: - name: nginx image: nginx:1.7.9 ports: - containerPort: 80 volumeMounts: - name: nas-pvc mountPath: "/data" volumes: - name: nas-pvc persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: nas-csi-pvc-fs
Run the following command to create the PVC and pods:
kubectl create -f pvc.yaml -f nginx.yaml
In filesystem mode, the CSI driver automatically creates a NAS file system and a mount target when you create the PVC. When the PVC is deleted, the file system and the mount target are retained or deleted based on the settings of the deleteVolume and reclaimPolicy parameters.
Verify that the NAS file system can be used to persist data
NAS provides persistent storage. When a pod is deleted, the recreated pod automatically synchronizes the data of the deleted pod.
Perform the following steps to verify that NAS file system can be used to persist data:
Query the pods that are created for the application and the files in the mounted NAS file system.
Run the following command to query the pods that are created for the application:
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** 1/1 Running 0 32s deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** 1/1 Running 0 32s
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of a pod. In this example, the pod
deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
is used.kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- ls /data
No output is returned. This indicates that no file exists in the /data path.
Run the following command to create a file named nas in the /data path of the pod
deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
:kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- touch /data/nas
Run the following command to query the files in the /data path of the pod
deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
:kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- ls /data
Expected output:
nas
Run the following command to delete the pod:
kubectl delete pod deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
Open another CLI and run the following command to view how the pod is deleted and recreated:
kubectl get pod -w -l app=nginx
Verify that the file still exists after the pod is deleted.
Run the following command to query the name of the recreated pod:
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE deployment-nas-1-5b5cdm2g5-m**** 1/1 Running 0 32s deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** 1/1 Running 0 32s
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of the pod
deployment-nas-1-5b5cdm2g5-m****
.kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdm2g5-m**** -- ls /data
Expected output:
nas
The
nas
file still exists in the /data path. This indicates that data is persisted in the NAS file system.
Verify that data in the NAS file system can be shared across pods
You can mount a NAS volume to multiple pods. When the data is modified in one pod, the modifications are automatically synchronized to other pods.
Perform the following steps to verify that data in the NAS file system can be shared across pods:
Query the pods that are created for the application and the files in the mounted NAS file system.
Run the following command to query the pods that are created for the application:
kubectl get pod
Expected output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** 1/1 Running 0 32s deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** 1/1 Running 0 32s
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of each pod:
kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- ls /data kubectl exec deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** -- ls /data
Run the following command to create a file named nas in the /data path of a pod:
kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- touch /data/nas
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of each pod:
Run the following command to query the files in the /data path of the pod
deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n****
:kubectl exec deployment-nas-1-5b5cdb85f6-n**** -- ls /data
Expected output:
nas
Run the following command to query files in the /data path of the pod
deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4****
.kubectl exec deployment-nas-2-c5bb4746c-4**** -- ls /data
Expected output:
nas
After you create a file in the /data path of one pod, you can find the file in the /data path of the other pod. This indicates that data in the NAS file system is shared by the two pods.
Enable user isolation or user group isolation
Use the following YAML template to create an application. The containers of the application start processes and create directories as the nobody user. The user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) of the nobody user are 65534.
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: StatefulSet metadata: name: nas-sts spec: selector: matchLabels: app: busybox serviceName: "busybox" replicas: 1 template: metadata: labels: app: busybox spec: securityContext: fsGroup: 65534 # The containers create directories as the nobody user.
