Kubelet log has error when use default root dir

[liubin]

The log(combined contaienrd and kubelet):

Dec 12 11:34:51 kind-control-plane containerd[2874]: time="2022-12-12T11:34:51.360081705Z" level=debug msg=ImageFsInfo

Continerd returns a fixed-format directory for snapshotters:

func imageFSPath(rootDir, snapshotter string) string {
	return filepath.Join(rootDir, fmt.Sprintf("%s.%s", plugin.SnapshotPlugin, snapshotter))
}

Does it mean we must use $containerd_root_dir/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.nydus as the root dir of nydus snapshotter?

Yes, if the root option is set to /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.nydus, the error logs will disappear.

It seems that the nydus snapshotter's root directory must be under containerd's root to avoid these errors.

But containerd ImageFsInfo interface also has some limitations, for example, it only returns the default global snapshotter's fsinfo, doesnot include any snapshotter plugins fsinfo.

Seems the snapshotter root directory is passed to Kubelet for components like cAdvisor to collect statics of POD. The POD eviction based on imageFS does not need it. The disk usage is reported by nydus-snapshotter to containerd.

[imeoer]

We still need to ensure no error messages are thrown, right? Although maybe it doesn't have any effect.

[liubin]

I think fixing this on the containerd side will be ideal.

I'm trying to use helm install the nydus-snapshotter, I got this error too. I can't find any place to modify the root option, how can i fix it?

Based on what version of nydus-snapshotter you are working on, if it is a self-built nydus-snapshotter from the main branch, it can be tweaked in its configuration file. If it is 0.5 or below of nydus-snapshotter, nydus-snapshotter's root dir can be changed by CLI parameter --root, which can point to /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.nydus

Thanks for your reply, The default value of the tag in the helm chart I use is v0.4.0.
According to your reminder, I will try to modify the value NYDUS_LIB in daemonset env.
BTW, can the helm chart work on version 0.5.1?

Yes. 0.5.1 can work

I rebuilt the image of v0.5.1, modified the root path, and there is no problem in running it, but when creating a pod, the following error will be reported.

Failed to create pod sandbox: rpc error: code = NotFound desc = failed to create containerd container: failed to create snapshot: missing parent "k8s.io/34/sha256:961e93cda9dd918dbe26aca24cccd6c5db05176850d2c53476d881df5d0d4816" bucket: not found

I checked the /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.content.v1.content/blobs/sha256 path and there is no this file, I guess the metadata is wrong somewhere?

Is the image that you are running OCI format or nydus format? Looks like this is an error from Containerd. Can you ensure that containerd is using nydus-snapshotter

[changweige]

@Riverdd If you have a boltdb inspector like https://github.com/br0xen/boltbrowser, please try to scan nydus-snapshotter's snapshots DB located at its ROOT/metadata.db and check if it is there. And ctr snapshots should help to analyze this problem

I am using the sandbox image in OCI format, can I use the image in OCI format when the containerd snapshotter is configured as nydus?

Yes. Nydus-snasphotter is compatible with OCI images, which means OCI image can be unpacked to the snapshots created by nydus-snapshotter.

Aha, I guess the reason of your issue is that the ROOT dir is changed, where stores nydus-snapshotter snapshots DB metadata.db. I suppose you can try to migrate the DB file from the old location to the new locations. Also try to migrate nydus.db db file.

Looks right, but the old path has been deleted by me.

Hi @Riverdd, is it convenient for you to join DingTalk group 34971767 ?

OK, let's change the channel.

But we'd better still set snapshotter's default root path to /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.nydus for the better compatibility.
