    * When a pod is deleted, the controller waits for the volume to be safely unmounted by kubelet. It does this by waiting for the volume to no longer be present in the nodes Node.Status.VolumesInUse list. If the volume is not safely unmounted by kubelet within a pre-configured duration (3 minutes...
