| Calico CNI Unauthorized |
calico/cni |
Pods stuck ContainerCreating — expired or wrong-SA calico-kubeconfig JWT causes Unauthorized on pod sandbox creation |
| Calico Orphaned Pod Route |
calico/networking |
Healthy container CrashLoops — liveness probe fails with connect: invalid argument because the pod's host route is missing and traffic hits the IPAM blackhole route |
| Kubelet Silent Stall |
microk8s |
Node shows Ready but pods never schedule — eviction manager stall or pod watch goroutine stall |
| Kubelet Volume Manager Stall |
microk8s/openebs |
Pods stuck ContainerCreating with no iSCSI sessions — processorListener goroutine blocked after kine watch disruption |
| Control-Plane Watch-Cache Freeze |
microk8s |
Zero pod creations / stalled reflectors — apiserver watch cache frozen by broken kine feed; RV=0 test; restart k8s-dqlite before kubelite |
| KCM Stale terminatingReplicas |
microk8s/kube-controller-manager |
ReplicaSet refuses to create pods — KCM pod informer stale after kine disruption; terminatingReplicas stuck |
| Jiva CSI Mount Proliferation |
openebs-jiva-csi |
Duplicate bind mounts accumulate per kubelite restart, causing findmnt/Ansible hangs |
| Jiva CSI Stale Node Attachment |
openebs-jiva-csi |
PVC stuck ContainerCreating after pod force-deleted and rescheduled to different node — stale nodeID label, mountInfo, and iSCSI session on old node |
| Jiva-ctrl Eviction → iSCSI → EXT4 Read-Only |
openebs-jiva-csi |
Pod filesystem goes read-only after jiva-ctrl pod evicted, dropping iSCSI session and triggering EXT4 journal abort |
| Safe Node Restart (jiva-ctrl hosted) |
openebs-jiva-csi |
Pre-restart procedure for nodes hosting jiva-ctrl pods — migrate workloads and verify iSCSI sessions clear before restarting |
| Jiva Controller Endpoint Deadlock |
openebs-jiva/kcm |
Replica CrashLoopBackOff with controller endpoints stuck in notReadyAddresses — CM write failure creates self-sustaining deadlock; fix by restarting k8s-dqlite (follower then leader) |
| Jiva Replica Corrupt Snapshot Chain |
openebs-jiva |
Single replica CrashLoopBackOff with link ... volume-snap-NNN.img: no such file — broken on-disk snapshot chain; wipe backing dir and resync from healthy peers |
| dqlite Write Contention |
microk8s/dqlite |
database is locked (try:500) under kubelite restart storms — prevention, recovery, phantom RS fix |
| dqlite Datastore Vacuum |
microk8s/dqlite |
Freelist bloat makes every raft snapshot a 200MB+ fsync burst feeding lock storms — full export/rebuild/rejoin procedure; dbctl backup silently broken on 1.35 |
| k8s Upgrade Post-Upgrade Validation |
microk8s |
Post-rolling-upgrade checks for stale EndpointSlice IPs and stale Calico IPAM blocks that silently cause service disruptions |
