* fix mount unmount failure for a Windows pod ([#63272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63272), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

    * Don't watch .mount cgroups to reduce number of inotify watches

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, ([@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- Use force unmount for NFS volumes if regular mount fails after 1 minute timeout ([#96844](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96844), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]
- Use network.Interface.VirtualMachine.ID to get the binded VM

- 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]

#### Storage

* [stable] Mount options

  * The ability to specify mount options for volumes is moved from beta to stable.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `PersistentVolume` spec is available to specify mount options. This field replaces an annotation.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `StorageClass` spec allows configuration of mount options for dynamically provisioned volumes.

- 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]

- Fix panic if there are more terminating pods than active pods ([#122267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122267), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92)) [SIG Apps]
- 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]
- Fixed a regression since 1.27.0 in scheduler framework when running score plugins. 

* Because some plugins mount volume on sub-directory of volume path, we need to distinguish between volume path and mount path to fix issue in reconstruction. ([#74653](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74653), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- 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...

### 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.
