CSI Driver on Windows

Note

Only use root share for one SMB server in one cluster and use subPath in deployment, if there is already \\smb-server\share\test1 mounted, would get error when mounting volume \\smb-server\share\test2 after Windows node reboot. Workaround is only use \\smb-server\share as source, details here.

Feature Status: GA

Prerequisite

• Install CSI-Proxy on Windows Node
• install csi-proxy on k8s 1.23+ Windows node using host process daemonset directly

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb/master/deploy/example/windows/csi-proxy.yaml

Deploy a Windows pod with PVC mount

Create a Windows deployment

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb/master/deploy/example/windows/statefulset.yaml

Enter pod container to verify

$ kubectl exec -it busybox-smb-0  -- bash
C:/ $ ls mnt/smb

In the above example, there is a c:\mnt\smb directory mounted as SMB filesystem.
