Why

The shared filesystem cache path created its writer claim on nvcf-miniservice-sc, the StorageClass whose presence selects that path. Every other backend provisions on the model cache class (nvcf-sc, or the configured override), and the persisted selection that now drives Helm backend selection (#1334) records that class too. On a cluster with a shared filesystem behind nvcf-sc and no nvcf-miniservice-sc, selection picked this path and the writer claim then waited forever for a class that did not exist. Enabling Weka or OCI FSS in the catalog would have hit this immediately.

What changed

The shared filesystem writer claim takes the model cache class through applyModelCacheStorageClass, the same helper the NVMesh and Samba paths use. nvcf-miniservice-sc keeps exactly one role: its presence tells legacy selection that an operator provided a shared filesystem. It no longer holds any cache data.

The user doc's backend table and the reader description are updated to match; the reader has been a static PV on the writer's volume since #1434.

Customer Release Notes

Fixed shared filesystem model caching on clusters whose model cache StorageClass is a shared filesystem but which have no nvcf-miniservice-sc StorageClass.

Plan Summary

Not applicable.

Usage

No operator action. Clusters that already provide nvcf-miniservice-sc continue to select the shared filesystem path; new cache volumes land on the model cache class.

Testing

  • TestReconcile_ModelCacheSharedFS now asserts the writer claim uses the model cache class and fails against the old code.
  • go test ./pkg/storage/... and golangci-lint clean.

QA: one run on a shared filesystem cluster confirming the writer PVC binds on nvcf-sc.

Notes

Last prerequisite for enabling a shared filesystem backend in the catalog: selection (#1334), derived readers (#1434), NVMesh by provisioner (#1516), and now the writer class all resolve through nvcf-sc.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Shared-filesystem model caches now use the configured model-cache StorageClass for writer and Samba backing volumes.
    • Reader volumes are derived from the writer’s volume, improving compatibility with shared-filesystem configurations.
    • Shared-filesystem availability is detected without requiring specific access modes from the legacy storage provider.
  • Documentation

    • Updated verification guidance to describe readers as static volumes bound to the writer’s shared volume, while only the writer claim uses the model-cache StorageClass.

…cache class

The shared filesystem path created its writer claim on nvcf-miniservice-sc,
the class whose presence selects that path. Every other backend provisions
on the model cache class, nvcf-sc or the configured override, and the
persisted selection that now drives Helm backend selection records that
class as well. On a cluster that has a shared filesystem behind nvcf-sc but
no nvcf-miniservice-sc, the selection picked this path and the writer claim
then waited for a class that did not exist.

The writer now takes the model cache class through the same helper the
NVMesh and Samba paths use. nvcf-miniservice-sc keeps one job: its presence
tells legacy selection that an operator provided a shared filesystem.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The shared-filesystem backend now treats the shared StorageClass as a detection signal. Model cache writer PVCs and Samba backing volumes use the configured model cache StorageClass. Tests and documentation describe static reader PVs bound to the writer volume.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model cache StorageClass routing
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/cachebackend.go, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/modelcache.go, docs/user/cluster-management/model-cache.md
The shared StorageClass is documented as a detection-only signal. Shared-FS writer PVCs and Samba backing volumes use the configured model cache StorageClass.
Validation and verification updates
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/modelcache_test.go, docs/user/cluster-management/model-cache.md
Test helpers expose controller cancellation and created storage objects. Verification guidance describes readers as static PVs bound to the writer volume without a StorageClass.

documentation to state that it is a static PV bound to the writer’s volume
without a StorageClass. Clarify that the model-cache StorageClass applies only
to the writer PVC.
- Around line 71-74: Update the Samba backing-volume description to reference
the configured model-cache StorageClass, including any override instead of
always naming nvcf-sc. Keep the surrounding explanation of NVCA and the derived
readers unchanged.

… class override

The existing test only asserted the default class, which the old
hard-coded value could never produce but which a default could satisfy by
accident. A second envtest configures a class override and asserts the
writer claim carries it; with the old code no configuration reaches the
writer, so the assertion cannot pass. The manager bootstrap and request
setup move into helpers shared by both tests.

…d filesystem test helpers

The previous commit moved setup into helpers but the existing test still
used the ICMSRequest, StorageRequest, and cancel func they created, so the
package did not compile. The helpers now return them.

Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
The reader PV carries no StorageClass, so a pre-bound pair matches; only the
writer claim uses the model cache class. The Samba backing volume uses the
configured model cache class, not always nvcf-sc.
