…volume doModelCacheSharedFS created its reader as a claim naming only the shared StorageClass, trusting the class to make every claim resolve to the same data. A dynamic provisioner does not: it answers each claim with a new volume. The reader therefore mounted an empty directory while binding cleanly, so nothing alerted, and the workload found no model. Measured on two clusters. On Weka the writer held csivol-pvc-8e38c07d and a fresh reader claim on the same StorageClass came back with csivol-pvc-e244d567, empty and writable. On OCI FSS the writer held export csi-fss-eaf964b0 and the reader got csi-fss-707da05a, containing only .snapshot. The reader is now a PV derived from the volume the writer populated, claimed by name with an empty StorageClass so no provisioner is involved, ReadOnlyMany and Retain so one namespace's reader can never destroy a cache others are reading. That is the shape NVMesh and Samba already used; sharedfs was the only backend relying on the class to share. deriveReaderVolumeHandle holds the only vendor specific step. NVMesh encodes the consuming namespace in its CSI volume handle and needs the reader namespace substituted in; Weka and OCI FSS address one volume by one handle and reuse the writer's unchanged. Both were measured: Weka handles are weka/v2/csivol-<id> and FSS handles are <filesystem-ocid>:<mount-target-ip>:<export-path>. Removes pkg/storage/cacheprobe. It existed to discover at run time, by creating a PVC and a Pod, whether the shared class supported ReadOnlyMany or ReadWriteMany. Deriving the reader from the writer volume removes the question. Also corrects a test fixture that gave an NVMesh PV the CSI driver "nvmesh"; the real name is nvmesh-csi.excelero.com, which is what the rest of the model cache code compares against the StorageClass provisioner.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe shared-FS model-cache reader now reuses the writer’s bound CSI volume through derived read-only PV and PVC resources. Driver-specific handle rewriting remains for NVMesh. Cache-probe implementation, tests, and Bazel dependencies were removed. ChangesModel cache reader provisioning
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The reader PV preserves the writer’s StorageClass while the reader claim clears it, so Kubernetes can leave the claim Pending and prevent affected model-cache requests from becoming ready. Removing one request may also disrupt other namespaces using the shared writer volume, while stale reader bindings can survive writer replacement. These correctness and lifecycle risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The derived reader PV retains the writer’s StorageClassName while the reader claim sets it to empty. A pre-bound claim requires matching StorageClassName values, so the reader PVC can remain Pending and the shared-filesystem request will not become ready. Set the reader PV’s StorageClassName to "" after the deep copy, and assert this in the reconciliation test; the test currently assigns PVC status manually and would otherwise miss the binding failure.

1451 - 1452: Add an assertion that the reader PV StorageClassName is empty.

Why
doModelCacheSharedFScreated each namespace's reader as a claim naming onlythe shared StorageClass, trusting the class to make every claim resolve to the
same data. A dynamic provisioner answers each claim with a new volume, so the
reader mounted an empty directory. The claim binds, the pod starts, the mount
succeeds, and the workload finds no model. Nothing alerts.
Measured on two clusters. On Weka the writer held
csivol-pvc-8e38c07d; afresh reader claim on the same StorageClass came back with
csivol-pvc-e244d567, empty and writable. On OCI FSS the writer held exportcsi-fss-eaf964b0and the reader gotcsi-fss-707da05a, containing only.snapshot.What changed
The reader is a PV derived from the volume the writer populated, claimed by
name with an empty StorageClass so no provisioner is involved,
ReadOnlyManyand
Retainso one namespace's reader cannot destroy a cache others arereading. That is the shape NVMesh and Samba already used; sharedfs was the only
backend relying on the class to share.
deriveReaderVolumeHandleholds the only vendor specific step. NVMesh encodesthe consuming namespace in its CSI volume handle and needs the reader namespace
substituted in. Weka and OCI FSS address one volume by one handle and reuse the
writer's unchanged.
Removes
pkg/storage/cacheprobe: it existed to discover at run time, bycreating a PVC and a Pod, whether the shared class supported ROX or RWX.
Deriving the reader from the writer volume removes the question. Net 252 added,
831 removed.
Customer Release Notes
Fixed Helm model caching silently serving an empty cache on shared filesystem
storage classes that provision a volume per claim, which includes Weka and OCI
FSS.
Plan Summary
Not applicable.
Usage
No operator action. The reader is derived automatically; a cache populated
before this change keeps working, because readers are derived from whatever
volume the writer claim is bound to.
Testing
TestReconcile_ModelCacheSharedFSnow binds the writer claim to a real volumeand asserts the reader PV addresses it, that the reader claim binds by name,
and that it names no StorageClass. It fails against the old code.
TestDeriveReaderVolumeHandlecovers NVMesh rewriting, Weka and FSS reusingverbatim, an unknown driver, and a malformed NVMesh handle.
go build ./...,go test ./pkg/... ./internal/...andgofmtare clean.QA: worth a cluster run on a shared filesystem backend before release. The
storage behaviour is measured, but this build has not been deployed.
Notes
Split out of the storage-agnostic cache work so it can land on its own: it
fixes a defect that exists today and does not depend on the capability catalog.
