SMB storage driver, unmounting on Windows
author of the fork, 2026
This fork of the Kubernetes SMB storage driver keeps Windows network file shares mountable, clearing dead mappings and restoring stale staging targets when credentials conflict.
The csi-driver-smb project mounts SMB network file shares as Kubernetes storage volumes, and on Windows a node could stay tied to a dead share until the machine was restarted. This fork clears stale mappings to a server whenever credentials conflict, restores stale staging targets rather than bypassing them, and removes the global mapping as a fallback when a duplicate-mount check does not pass.
