Failed to mount blob storage to AKS using azureblob-nfs-premium

Question

Hello,

I am trying to mount an Azure Blob Storage Account to my AKS with the following error:

Output: mount.nfs: mounting <storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net:/<storage-account-name>/<blob-container-name> failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory

Note that the storage account is using private endpoints. To make sure that connectivity to the storage account is allowed, I used the following commands:

nc -v -w 2 <storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net 111 nc -v -w 2 <storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net 2048

Both commands succeeded and a connection was established.

What else shall I check to resolve my issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you

NFS 3.0 error 1: Exit status 32. No such file or directory

Cause: Blob container doesn't exist

To check if the Blob container exists, follow these steps:

Search for Storage accounts in the Azure portal and access your storage account.

Select Containers under Data storage in the storage account and check if the associated PersistentVolume (PV) exists in Containers. To see the Persistent Volume (PV), check the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) associated with the pod in the YAML file, and then check which PV is associated with that PVC.

Solution: Ensure the Blob container exists

To resolve this issue, make sure that the Blob container that's associated with the PV/PVC exists.

Also, please share blob driver POD logs from which is running on the NODE from where this application POD is being scheduled.
