Pod fails to attach to existing RWX volume, although several other pods connected.

We have 20 namespaces, each have a RWX volume shared amongst 5 pods 19 are stable, 1 gets the below error, consistently… This is the only one where the volume is over 80GB of data. The rest are 5-10GB.

Would you please provide the support bundle and kubelet log if possible.  
And send to [longhorn-support-bundle@suse.com](mailto:longhorn-support-bundle@suse.com), thx.

JenTing, we purchased a support bundle and have opened case 00339301, and have uploaded information there.

Thank you.

Unfortunately we were never able to fix reliably.

We were able to recover some volumes by mounting the longhorn volume  
file locally on the worker node, and copying the data off.

We ended up moving all RWX volumes off longhorn and on to an NFS  
server. No more problems after that.
