Pods Remain Pending After Local Volume Release Until Pod Deletion/Recreation

[lizzzcai]

What happened:
When using a local volume, if a pod that’s using the volume is deleted to free it up, subsequent pods that attempted to use the same volume remain stuck in a pending state. The “FailedScheduling” event with context deadline exceeded from the PreBind "VolumeBinding" plugin is shown. Deleting and recreating the pending pod allows it to schedule successfully.

Event:

58s         Warning   FailedScheduling                  pod/pod-98669fbf4-2tjp4                                 running PreBind plugin "VolumeBinding": binding volumes: context deadline exceeded

What you expected to happen:
Once the local volume is released and available, pods waiting to use it should automatically be scheduled, without requiring manual deletion and recreation.

How to reproduce it:

1. Schedule a pod (Pod A) that uses a local volume.
2. Attempt to schedule another pod (Pod B) that also requires the same volume—this pod will remain in Pending.
3. Delete Pod A, releasing the local volume.
4. Pod B stays Pending until it is deleted and recreated, at which point it schedules successfully.
