Open Floor:
[Proposal] Move iommufd-device-plugin to the KubeVirt organization: https://groups.google.com/g/kubevirt-dev/c/42yb1cQ7Hq0
[aburden] talking last week with cncf folks: we might benefit from having a Kubevirt-plugins github org that these belong to. Granular ownership as well as separation of interest regarding support over time etc
Nvidia kubevirt plugin
Packer
Portworx benchmark
[Alay] Mount explosion issue due to bi-directional mount in virt-handler https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17423
/var/lib/kubelet is mounted as bi-directional mount point
Other components on the node could use /var/lib/kubelet/pods or /var/lib/kubelet/plugins for csi operations.
This causes mount explosion problem
Every virt-handler container restart causes mount points to double. More details in the issue.
Are there historical reasons why /var/lib/kubelet needs to be a bidirectional mount?
[jed] some background there https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/12520 for the full dir mount as opposed to only subdirs. Not sure about the bidirectional thing, probably an oversight, I don’t think we need bi-directionality.
