kube-controller-manager will be aware of the `volumeAttributesClassName` field of PVC and PV objects. The `volumeAttributesClassName` field is a reference to a VolumeAttributesClass object, which contains a set of key-value pairs that present mutable attributes of the volume. It's forbidden to change the `volumeAttributesClassName` field of a PVC object until the PVC is bound to a PV object. During the binding process, if a PVC has a `volumeAttributesClassName` field set, the controller will only consider...

persistence:
  enabled: true
  annotations: {}

  ## A manually managed Persistent Volume and Claim
  ## Requires persistence.enabled: true
  ## If defined, PVC must be created manually before volume will be bound

  ## minio data Persistent Volume Storage Class
  ## If defined, storageClassName: <storageClass>

- Added alpha support (behind `PersistentVolumeClaimUnusedSinceTime` feature gate) for tracking PVC unused status via a new `Unused` condition on PersistentVolumeClaimStatus. When enabled, the PVC protection controller sets `Unused=True` with a `lastTransitionTime` when no non-terminal Pods reference the PVC, enabling external automation to identify and manage unused storage.

- Kubelet: fix a bug where the unexpected NodeResizeError condition was in PVC status when the csi driver does not support node volume expansion and the pvc has the ReadWriteMany access mode.

- Kubelet: Fixed a bug that caused an unexpected `NodeResizeError` condition to appear in the PVC status when the CSI driver did not support node volume expansion and the PVC had the `ReadWriteMany` access mode.

## Changelog since v1.26.2

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Volumes: `resource.claims` gets cleared for PVC specs during create or update of a pod spec with inline PVC template or of a PVC because it has no effect. ([#115928](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115928), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Storage]

### Feature

- Fix kubelet restart unmounts volumes of running pods if the referenced PVC is being deleted by the user ([#130686](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130686), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]

- Pod can have multiple volumes reference the same PVC ([#122140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122140), [@huww98](https://github.com/huww98)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]
