While setting cephfs getting below error in cephfs-client provisioner pod while creating PVC.

unexpected error getting claim reference: selfLink was empty

After that we set Removeself link to false and restarted k3s but k3s not started with below error:

Error: invalid argument “RemoveSelfLink=false” for “–feature-gates” flag: cannot set feature gate RemoveSelfLink to false

So need help for this.
