Add support for --allow-downgrades flag in init container #2066

Copilot · 2025-07-09T12:23:22Z

This PR adds dedicated Helm chart parameters for enabling the --allow-downgrades flag when installing blobfuse and blobfuse2 packages, providing a cleaner alternative to the current workaround.

Problem

Currently, users need to downgrade blobfuse2 due to issues like Azure/azure-storage-fuse#1639. The only way to enable --allow-downgrades is by appending it to the version string:

node:
  blobfuseProxy:
    blobfuse2Version: "2.3.0 --allow-downgrades"  # Not intuitive

Solution

Added dedicated boolean parameters to the Helm chart for cleaner configuration:

node:
  blobfuseProxy:
    blobfuse2Version: "2.3.0"
    allowBlobfuse2Downgrades: true        # New parameter
    allowBlobfuseDowngrades: false        # New parameter for blobfuse v1

Changes Made

Helm Chart Values: Added allowBlobfuseDowngrades and allowBlobfuse2Downgrades boolean parameters
DaemonSet Template: Added ALLOW_BLOBFUSE_DOWNGRADES and ALLOW_BLOBFUSE2_DOWNGRADES environment variables
Install Script: Updated install-proxy.sh to handle the new flags and append --allow-downgrades when enabled
Documentation: Updated README with new Helm configuration example

Usage Examples

New cleaner approach (Helm):

helm upgrade --set node.blobfuseProxy.blobfuse2Version="2.3.0" \
             --set node.blobfuseProxy.allowBlobfuse2Downgrades=true \
             blob-csi-driver charts/latest/blob-csi-driver

Backward compatible approach (still works):

kubectl patch daemonset csi-blob-node -n kube-system -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"initContainers":[{"env":[{"name":"BLOBFUSE2_VERSION","value":"2.3.0 --allow-downgrades"}],"name":"install-blobfuse-proxy"}]}}}}'

Testing

✅ Unit tests pass
✅ Manual testing confirms correct package installation commands
✅ Backward compatibility maintained
✅ No breaking changes

The implementation maintains full backward compatibility while providing a more discoverable and intuitive configuration option.

Fixes #1846.

Hi @Copilot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
