Hi Ilya, Here you go, no k8s services running this time: sbezverk@kube-4:~$ sudo rbd map raw-volume --pool kubernetes --id admin -m 192.168.80.233 --key=AQCeHO1ZILPPDRAA7zw3d76bplkvTwzoosybvA== /dev/rbd0 sbezverk@kube-4:~$ sudo rbd status raw-volume --pool kubernetes --id admin -m 192.168.80.233 --key=AQCeHO1ZILPPDRAA7zw3d76bplkvTwzoosybvA== Watchers: watcher=192.168.80.235:0/3465920438 client.65327 cookie=1 sbezverk@kube-4:~$ sudo rbd info raw-volume --pool kubernetes --id admin -m 192.168.80.233 --key=AQCeHO1ZILPPDRAA7zw3d76bplkvTwzoosybvA== rbd image 'raw-volume': size 10240 MB in 2560 objects order 22 (4096 kB objects) block_name_prefix: rb.0.fafa.625558ec format: 1 sbezverk@kube-4:~$ sudo reboot sbezverk@kube-4:~$ sudo rbd status raw-volume --pool kubernetes --id admin -m 192.168.80.233 --key=AQCeHO1ZILPPDRAA7zw3d76bplkvTwzoosybvA== Watchers: none It seems when the image was mapped manually, this issue is not reproducible. K8s does not just map the image, it also creates loopback device which is linked to /dev/rbd0. Maybe this somehow reminds rbd client to re-activate a watcher on reboot. I will try to mimic exact steps k8s follows manually to see what exactly forces an active watcher after reboot.

If I gracefully kill a pod then watcher gets properly cleared, but if it is done ungracefully, without “rbd unmap” then even after a node reboot Watcher stays up for a long time, it has been more than 20 minutes and it is still active (no any kubernetes services are running). Hi Serguei, Can you try taking k8s out of the equation -- set up a fresh VM with the same kernel, do "rbd map" in it and kill it?
