- We will no longer automatically delete all data when a failure is detected during creation of the volume data file on a CSI volume. Now we will only remove the data file and volume path. ([#96021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96021), [@huffmanca](https://github.com/huffmanca)) [SIG Storage]

## Dependencies

- The API server and client-go libraries have been fixed to support additional non-alpha-numeric characters in UserInfo "extra" data keys. Both should be updated in order to properly support extra data containing "/" characters or other characters disallowed in HTTP headers.
