- On compatible systems, a mounter's Unmount implementation is changed to not return an error when the specified target can be detected as not a mount point. On Linux, the behavior of detecting a mount point depends on `umount` command is validated when the mounter is created. Additionally, mount point checks will be skipped in CleanupMountPoint/CleanupMountWithForce if the mounter's Unmount having the changed behavior of not returning error when target is not a...

- Fix: Mount point may become local without calling NodePublishVolume after node rebooting. ([#119923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119923), [@cvvz](https://github.com/cvvz)) [SIG Node and Storage]

### Bug or Regression

- Fix: statle smb mount issue when smb file share is deleted and then unmount ([#121851](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121851), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]

* Fixes issue where subpath readOnly mounts failed ([#63045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63045), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))
* Fix stackdriver metrics for node memory using wrong metric type ([#63535](https://github.co/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63535), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

MountPropagation feature is now beta. As a consequence, all volume mounts in containers are now `rslave` on Linux by default. To make this default work in all Linux environments the entire mount tree should be marked as shareable, e.g. via `mount --make-rshared /`. All Linux distributions that use systemd already have the root directory mounted as rshared and hence they need not do anything. In Linux environments without systemd we recommend running `mount --make-rshared /` during boot before docker is started,...

- Fixed scanning of failed iSCSI targets. ([#74306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74306), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
- StorageOS volume plugin updated to fix an issue where volume mount succeeds even if request to mount via StorageOS API fails. ([#69782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69782), [@darkowlzz](https://github.com/darkowlzz))

### Non-recursive Volume Ownership (FSGroup) graduates to Beta

By default, the `fsgroup` setting, if specified, recursively updates permissions for every file in a volume on every mount. This can make mount, and pod startup, very slow if the volume has many files. 

* fix race condition issue for smb mount on windows ([#75371](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75371), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix smb unmount issue on Windows ([#75087](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75087), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- AzureFile and CephFS use the new Mount library that prevents logging of sensitive mount options. ([#88684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88684), [@saad-ali](https://github.com/saad-ali)) [SIG Storage]
