Problem while creating large (100+ GB) volume

[duckhawk]

Just trying to create volume 100+ GB

Linstor creates volume, but it looks like mkfs failed because of timeout

Also, resource is stucked in InUse state in one of diskfull replicas

This case can be fixed by creating fs and drbdadm up/down on node with resource in InUse status

root@master1:~# kubectl -n d8-linstor exec -ti linstor-node-8rmmv bash
kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND] is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl exec [POD] -- [COMMAND] instead.
Defaulted container "linstor-satellite" out of: linstor-satellite, kube-rbac-proxy, drbd-prometheus-exporter

I tried to use lazy params in storageclass, but it wasn't usefull

root@master1:~# kubectl get sc linstor-store-r2 -oyaml | grep fsOpts
  linstor.csi.linbit.com/fsOpts: -E lazy_itable_init=1 -E lazy_journal_init=1

Looks like there some timeout while volume provisioning
