unable to delete the helper pod "helper-pod-delete-pvc-XYZ"

[applike-ss]

Hello,

i am experiencing the following error quite often:

time="2024-07-30T08:25:22Z" level=error msg="unable to delete the helper pod: pods \"helper-pod-delete-pvc-f02f13f9-7ffd-45bc-ba90-629cf304c9a9\" not found" 

In my use-case, i am creating many (50+) pvcs at almost the same time. Is there maybe a race condition?
After the pod using the pv is terminated, the pvs stay in released state instead of beind removed.

I am using v0.0.27 currently, as i use a different registry that doesn't contain v0.0.28 just yet and docker hub pull limits are just too low for every day production use.

Let me know if you need any more information to track this down.

EDIT: Additional information: for HA reasons i used 3 replicas instead of the default value from the chart. However I do see in the code that there was/is no Leader election enabled (it is set to disabled in the code).

Can you check the node name and labels to see if #413 applies?

On my end the labels match the nodes name, so i assume your issue is not the same as mine.

It seems more related to quickly creating and removing lots of volumes. In my case i was creating lots of pods with ephemeral volumes using the csi driver.

How did you run into the issue? Do you have steps to reproduce?

[applike-ss]

I have setup my Gitlab with a pipeline that spawns a lot of jobs (say 50) at the same time.
The Gitlab runners are running inside my kubernetes cluster and use the local path provisioner for testing.
Jobs may request new nodes on-demand if the cluster can not fulfill the request immediately.
After some tests i discovered that some of the PVCs are not deleted after the job/pod terminated.
