## Issue A faulty component in the Persistent Disk CSI (PDCSI) driver may cause mount failures for NVMe block devices on specific GKE clusters. This issue affects machine types that exclusively use the NVMe interface for attached Persistent Disks, such as third-generation machine types, T2A instances, and Confidential VMs. For more details, see [About persistent disks](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/persistent-disks#choose%5Fan%5Finterface). Impacted GKE versions include: * 1.30.2-gke.1023000 * 1.27.15-gke.1012000 * 1.27.14-gke.1100000 Mount failures will log errors indicating difficulties verifying and re-linking the GCE Persistent Disk. You will see log errors like this: `"Error when getting device path: rpc error: code = Internal desc = error verifying GCE PD ("$PVC") is attached: failed to find and re-link disk $PVC with udevadm after retrying for 3s: couldn't get serial number for disk $PVC at device path /dev/$NVME_PATH: google_nvme_id failed for device "/dev/$NVME_PATH" with output [**numbers**]: exit status 1"` This issue will be resolved in the next GKE releases. In the meantime, if you are experiencing mount failures, upgrade your cluster to the default version 1.30.1-gke.1329000 for the 1.30 release channel or 1.27.14-gke.1059000 for the 1.27 release channel.
