## Issue In GKE versions 1.32.4-gke.1029000 and later, MountVolume calls for network file system (NFS) volumes might fail with the following error:`mount.nfs:rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking`. This failure can occur if a Pod mounting an NFS volume runs on the same node as an NFS server Pod, and the NFS server Pod starts before the client Pod attempts to mount the volume. This scenario causes a conflict over the `rpcbind` service, which prevents the service from starting correctly on the node for the client Pod, leading to the mount failure. As a workaround, deploy [this DaemonSet](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-engine-samples/blob/main/troubleshooting/nfs-mount-workaround/daemonset.yaml)on all nodes where you mount the NFS volumes. The DaemonSet ensures that the required services start correctly.
