-Prior to v1.9, the default behavior for all volume plugins was to create a filesystem on the persistent volume. With v1.9, the user can specify a `volumeMode` which will now support raw block devices in addition to file systems. Valid values for `volumeMode` are "Filesystem" or "Block". If left unspecified, `volumeMode` defaults to "Filesystem" internally. This is an optional API parameter.
+Prior to Kubernetes 1.9, all volume plugins created a filesystem on the persistent volume.
