<p>I'm trying to share a cephfs volumes between namespaces within k8s cluster.
I'm using ceph-csi with cephfs.</p>
<p>Followed <a href="https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/static-pvc.md#cephfs-static-pvc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/static-pvc.md#cephfs-static-pvc</a> to create static pv+pvc in both namespaces.
Works if I don't launch both pods on same node.</p>
<p>If both pods on same node, Second pod get stuck with error:</p>
<pre><code>MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume &quot;team-test-vol-pv&quot; : rpc error: code = Internal desc = failed to bind-mount /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/k

<p>Any ideas how to resolve this or how to use a single RWX volume in different NS?</p>

Pav K.
<p>Having <code>volumeHandle: xyz</code> unique for each pv done the trick. Tested deploying 3xdaemonsets in 3 different namespaces.</p>
