In `@pkg/rest/rd_clone_golinstor_shape_test.go`:
- Around line 36-42: Update the clone response assertion in the test to require
http.StatusCreated rather than only rejecting http.StatusBadRequest, so all
non-success statuses fail. Preserve the existing response-body decoding and
verification after confirming the successful created response.
In `@pkg/rest/rd_clone.go`:
- Around line 94-97: Update pkg/rest/rd_clone.go lines 94-97 so rdCloneRequest
uses a single clone-boundary adapter for shared
client.ResourceDefinitionCloneRequest wire fields, while retaining blockstor’s
src_snap_name and converting []devicelayerkind.DeviceLayerKind to internal
[]string. Update pkg/rest/rd_clone_golinstor_shape_test.go lines 29-31, 61-65,
91-92, and 131-136 to use recorded golinstor request/response fixtures with
byte-difference assertions covering both directions.
In `@pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go`:
- Around line 357-363: Update the restore flow around the existing restore
marker check so it is not treated as completion evidence while
hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot or placeRestoredResources may still be pending or
have failed. Persist the marker only after both restore steps complete
successfully, or reconcile missing target volumes and resources before returning
the existing idempotent success response.
- Line 316: The restore flow around restoreTargetPreexists and
ResourceDefinitions().Create must handle concurrent creation retries
idempotently: when creation reports an already-exists conflict, re-read the
target and return success only if restoreFromSnapshotKey matches the requested
source and snapshot; otherwise preserve the conflict/error behavior. Add a test
covering two concurrent restores.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The new layer_list field can be pointed at a LUKS stack the source does not have, and the data plane then formats over the bytes it just restored. Separately, the resume branch answers 201 over a definition that is being torn down, resource_group skips the gate that exists to reject exactly that input, and the function carrying the idempotency fix survives deletion with the package suite green.
Reviewed at 0334dfc against merge-base 709dd35. Everything below was executed in a throwaway clone; the probes are left in the tree as review190_*_probe_test.go, written so that PASS means the defect is present.
Findings
- [CRITICAL]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:158, an honoured layer_list that adds LUKS over a plaintext source formats the restored data away - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:324, the resume branch adopts a target that is mid-teardown - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:385, the resume comparison reads the request's spelling of a name the marker recorded from the store - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:610, resource_group is written without the gate that guards the same column on RD create - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore_idempotency_test.go:135, the change's central decision point survives deletion with the suite green - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:94, delete_namespaces is still an unknown field, so the same 400 is still reachable from the same client struct - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:707, the new const lands between a doc comment and the function it documents - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:383, the clone path answers "already cloned" on the marker alone, the failure mode this PR argues against on the restore side
Claim mismatches
[PARTIAL] "The rest of the golinstor shape is declared now." delete_namespaces arrives through the same ResourceDefinitionCloneRequest and is still refused with the 400 this change set out to remove.
[PARTIAL] "Six new tests, each checked by reverting the change and confirming the named test goes red." There are seven, and six of the change's decision points revert with the suite still green, restoreTargetState among them.
[PARTIAL] "Same split the clone path already draws." The clone path reads the same marker but answers "already cloned" without doing any work, which is the reading snapshot_restore.go:381 explicitly rejects.
[PARTIAL] "A repeat now succeeds when the definition under that name carries this restore's own marker." True only while the caller spells the source and snapshot names the way the store recorded them. The lookup folds case; the echoed name does not.
What was and was not executed
go build, go vet ./pkg/rest/... and golangci-lint run ./pkg/rest/... are clean; go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 is green at 73s. The -tags=integration and python-driven cases were not run.
The DELETE-flag and resource-group probes run against store.NewInMemory(), the way snap_rd_toctou_bug_180_test.go already models a tearing-down RD; the production behaviour is read from pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:340, where the flag comes off DeletionTimestamp. No bin/k8s assets are committed, so envtest skips and that path was not exercised end to end.
Worth naming in the PR itself: refuseLUKSWithoutPassphrase returns nil whenever s.Client == nil (resource_definitions.go:902, deliberate and documented), and startServerWithStore builds a server without one. The LUKS gate on the clone path is therefore a no-op under every unit test in this package, so no unit test can close it, and its mutation reads as an ordinary coverage gap when it is not one.

[MAJOR] pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:383 the clone path answers "already cloned" on the marker alone, the failure mode this PR argues against on the restore side
Not introduced here, but the PR body states "Same split the clone path already draws", and the split is not the same. cloneTargetPreexists reads the marker and writes 201 plus "resource definition already cloned" without doing any work, which is precisely the reading snapshot_restore.go:381-383 rejects: the marker "is NOT evidence that the restore finished". The two paths now disagree about what the same marker means, in a file this PR is editing.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbeCloneReportsAnIncompleteLeftoverAsDone|TestProbeControlRestoreFinishesTheSameShape' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: clone retry over an incomplete leftover -> status=201 envelope=map[... messages:[map[message:resource definition already cloned: dst-inc ...]]]; target holds 0 volume definition(s)
CONTROL: restore retry over the same shape -> status=201, target holds 1 volume(s)
A CSI clone that dies after materializeRestoredRD created the definition and before the volumes were hydrated is reported complete on every retry, and on Cozystack cloneStrategyOverride: csi-clone sends every disk clone through here. The volume-shaped consequence is the one the restore-side comment names: CSI sees it as ready and nothing ever finishes it. cloneTargetPreexists should fall through to cloneWithData the way the restore path now falls through to materializeRestoredRD, rather than short-circuiting.

[CRITICAL] an honoured layer_list that adds LUKS over a plaintext source formats the restored data away
layer_list is new on this endpoint: before this change the field was an unknown one and the request was a 400. Now it is validated for shape (validateLayerStack) and for a cluster passphrase (refuseLUKSWithoutPassphrase), and then written onto the target wholesale at :321 and :606. Nothing compares it against the stack the source actually carries.
The data plane copies bytes first and layers LUKS afterwards:
pkg/satellite/reconciler.go:933 devices, resized, cloned, err := r.applyStorageIfDiskful(...)
pkg/satellite/reconciler.go:941 devices, luksGrew, err := r.maybeLUKS(...)
applyStorageIfDiskful:1307 -> applyStorage:1465 -> materializeVolume:1621
-> provider.RestoreVolumeFromSnapshot (reconciler.go:1660)
and Format treats a device with no LUKS header as one to format:
// pkg/luks/luks.go:47
err := c.runProbe(ctx, "isLuks", device)
if err == nil {
return nil
}
err = c.runWithKey(ctx, key, "luksFormat", "--batch-mode", device, "--key-file", "-")So a clone of a plaintext [DRBD,STORAGE] source, requested with layer_list: [DRBD,LUKS,STORAGE], restores the source's filesystem onto the new device and then luksFormats over it. The clone answers 201 and the clone-status endpoint reports COMPLETE; the PVC comes up as an empty encrypted volume. The passphrase gate does not stop this, it only asks whether a cluster passphrase exists, which on an encrypted cluster it does. The reverse direction, a LUKS source cloned with a stack that drops LUKS, hands the caller a ciphertext blob with no mapper.
This PR already refuses volume_passphrases on exactly this reasoning, that the clone would materialise with keys the caller does not hold. Changing LUKS membership through layer_list is the same class and needs the same treatment: refuse it, or compare the requested stack against the source's and reject a LUKS-membership change.
Reachability: any golinstor client can send this today. Whether linstor-csi can is a separate question I did not settle, since a cross-StorageClass CSI clone is the only route and Kubernetes constrains that; the golinstor path alone is enough to warrant the gate.

[MAJOR] the resume branch adopts a target that is mid-teardown
restoreTargetState decides on the marker alone, and a definition being deleted still carries it. The CRD store projects a DeletionTimestamp onto the wire object as Flags: [DELETE] (pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:340), so a leftover the operator has just asked to remove is still returned by Get with its props intact. That is the interleaving this fix creates: before it, deleting the leftover by hand was the only way forward, and the external-provisioner retry loop runs the whole time the teardown is in flight.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeRestoreResumesOntoADeletingLeftover -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: restore onto a DELETE-flagged leftover -> status=201 msg="snapshot restore completed on retry: snap-1 → pvc-dst"; target still carries flags=[DELETE] and now holds 1 volume definition(s)
--- PASS
# same probe on a worktree at the merge-base 709dd35:
OBSERVED: restore onto a DELETE-flagged leftover -> status=409 msg="resource definition \"pvc-dst\": object already exists"; target still carries flags=[DELETE] and now holds 0 volume definition(s)
--- FAIL: the restore was refused (status=409), so the gap is closed
CSI is told the volume is ready, the PVC binds, then the satellite finishes the teardown and the definition goes away. There is a second cost on the same path: handleRDDelete already ran cascadeDeleteResources, so the Resources().Create calls stampRestoredResourcesOnNodes issues afterwards land replicas nothing will ever stamp a DeletionTimestamp on, which is the orphan case resource_definitions.go:1126-1142 describes where drbdadm down never runs and the next create of the same name collides with stale DRBD state.
Controls hold, so this is the resume branch and not a general loss of refusals: a foreign definition under the same name still returns 409, and cloneWithData still returns 409 for a DELETE-flagged source. That last one is also the fix shape. Call rdHasDeleteFlag(ctx, s, toResource) before returning resume and refuse with the envelope the clone path uses. A regression test seeds the leftover with Flags: []string{rdFlagDelete} the way snap_rd_toctou_bug_180_test.go:177 already does.

[MAJOR] the resume comparison reads the request's spelling of a name the marker recorded from the store
The marker is written as srcRD + ":" + snap.Name at line 548, where snap.Name is what the store returned. This check compares against srcRD+":"+snapName, where snapName is resolveSnapshotName(r, &req), the caller's spelling. LINSTOR identifiers are case-insensitive on the wire, which pkg/store/k8s/crdname.go says outright, and Name() lower-cases before the lookup while crd.Spec.SnapshotName echoes back whatever spelling the snapshot was created under.
$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestProbeSnapshotNameLookup -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: request spelled "snap-1", store resolved it and returned Name="Snap-1" (marker written as "<srcRD>:Snap-1", resume compares "<srcRD>:snap-1")
--- PASS
For a snapshot created as Snap-1 and restored via --from-snapshot snap-1 the two halves never agree, so this falls through to the refusal and returns before materializeRestoredRD is reached. The retry gets the pre-fix terminal 409, and its message says the name holds a definition this restore did not create, which is false and points the operator at deleting a definition that is theirs. snap.Name is already in hand at the call site; pass it instead of snapName. The srcRD half has the same shape, since it is the raw r.PathValue("rd") on both write and read.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[MAJOR] resource_group is written without the gate that guards the same column on RD create
refuseRDCreateOnUnknownRG (pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:484) exists because, in its own words, "the RD persisted with a dangling RG reference and the downstream rg-inherited reads silently fell back to DfltRscGrp". This line and snapshot_restore.go:529 both set ResourceGroupName from the request and neither consults it.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbeCloneAcceptsAnUnknown|TestProbeControlRDCreateRefuses|TestProbeCloneWithDataAccepts' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: clone with resource_group=no-such-group -> status=201; target persisted with resource_group="no-such-group", which resolves to: resource group "no-such-group": object not found
CONTROL: rd create with the same group -> status=404
OBSERVED: data-path clone -> status=201; target persisted with resource_group="no-such-group", which resolves to: resource group "no-such-group": object not found
The clone reports success and the target silently inherits DfltRscGrp's placement rather than the group the caller named, which on the CSI path is the StorageClass's group and therefore its replica count and pool selection. cloneRequestIsHonourable already mirrors two of the three RD-create input gates, validateLayerStack and refuseLUKSWithoutPassphrase; the group name is the one that got neither. Reuse getRGWithCacheRetry there, including the cache-retry budget, since linstor-csi creates the group and clones back to back and a bare Get would refuse a valid request on a cold informer.

[MAJOR] the change's central decision point survives deletion with the suite green
restoreTargetState is the function the PR describes as the fix. Replacing the call at snapshot_restore.go:324 with a constant resume, stop := false, false leaves the package suite green, so nothing in it observes the function at all:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 # unmutated control
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/rest 72.668s
$ sed -i '324s/.*/\tresume, stop := false, false/' pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 # restoreTargetState removed
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/rest 72.645s
(run in a copy of the tree with the review's own probe files removed, so only the PR's tests judged it.)
TestSnapshotRestoreIsIdempotent and TestSnapshotRestoreStillRefusesAForeignName therefore reach their assertions through the AlreadyExists tolerance inside materializeRestoredRD, which is a different layer: reverting that tolerance instead does turn both red. A wider mutation sweep over this change found the same shape on five more decision points, among them the marker re-check on the AlreadyExists race branch, which is the only thing standing between a racing restore and hydrating volumes into somebody else's definition.
TestSnapshotRestoreResumesAnIncompleteLeftover also asserts at line 158 that the leftover carries zero volume definitions. That is the right shape for the scenario but it means hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot creates fresh rows and its tolerance is never entered. The fixture that reaches it is a leftover carrying the definition and volume 0, which is what a restore that died during placeRestoredResources leaves behind.

[MINOR] delete_namespaces is still an unknown field, so the same 400 is still reachable from the same client struct
ResourceDefinitionCloneRequest inlines GenericPropsModify, and at golinstor v0.60.0, the version go.mod pins, that struct carries three fields, not two:
// $(go env GOMODCACHE)/github.com/LINBIT/golinstor@v0.60.0/client/client.go:737
type GenericPropsModify struct {
DeleteProps DeleteProps `json:"delete_props,omitempty"`
OverrideProps OverrideProps `json:"override_props,omitempty"`
DeleteNamespaces DeleteNamespaces `json:"delete_namespaces,omitempty"`
}$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbeCloneStillRejectsDeleteNamespaces|TestProbeControlCloneAcceptsTheDeclaredShape' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: clone with delete_namespaces -> status=400 body=map[]
CONTROL: same body with delete_props instead -> status=201
linstor-csi does not set it, so nothing that works today breaks, but the claim that the golinstor shape is declared is not yet true and the field is a first-class concept everywhere else in the package (node_connections.go:461, the SP and SPD modify paths). AGENTS.md calls golinstor "the authoritative source of truth for the LINSTOR REST API wire shape" and says to prefer importing its types over hand-rolling them; rd_clone.go already imports client, so embedding client.GenericPropsModify would close this and keep it closed on the next bump.

[MINOR] the new const lands between a doc comment and the function it documents

func mergeRGProps(existing, patch *apiv1.ResourceGroup)
The whole Bug 116 rationale, twenty-odd lines, is now attributed to a constant with exactly one use, and the function it was written for has no doc comment at all. pkg/rest/snapshot_restore_idempotency_test.go:16-18 has the identical shape, with seedRestoreSource's comment captured by drbdRestoreMarkerForTest. That const is also a same-package duplicate of restoreFromSnapshotKey which this PR creates, and its name says DRBD about a marker that has nothing to do with DRBD. While the const is being introduced, rd_clone.go:383 is a call site in the file this PR is already editing and still spells the literal.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The round closed seven of eight items from the previous one, and the LUKS refusal in particular is placed correctly and pinned. Two things keep it from being ready: the new layer-stack guard covers LUKS but not DRBD, whose bring-up writes to the device just as surely, and a resumed clone re-runs the data plane over a snapshot it never re-checks.
Reviewed at f3f6efc against merge-base 709dd35.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:459, the layer-stack guard covers LUKS membership, not DRBD - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:354, the resume re-runs the data plane over an unchecked snapshot - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:525, the clone half of the case-fold fix was not made, so a retry in another case is still terminal - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:703, two behavioural changes are held by no test - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:585, a resumed clone validates the caller's resource_group and then drops it - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:591, the AlreadyExists fallback re-checks the marker but not the DELETE flag
Still open from my earlier round
The case-fold fix landed on the restore side and not on the clone side, so rd_clone.go:525 carries the defect its sibling just lost. Three passes of this review reached it independently: the full review, a reviewer given only the diff, and one given only the previous round's findings and the code.
Closed since the previous round
Verified by reverting each fix and confirming a test goes red, not by reading the diff: the LUKS membership refusal (checked case-insensitively, and RG-inherited stacks cannot smuggle LUKS past it), the clone resume/refuse split, the resource-group gate on both clone paths, the mid-teardown refusal, the store-sourced marker on the restore side, restoreTargetState now observed by three tests where the suite was previously green without it, delete_namespaces via the embedded GenericPropsModify, and the const moved out of the doc comment.
Two adjacent gaps worth a line, neither reported before: RD-create guards the resource group twice, before the write and again after it with rollback, while the clone path mirrors only the first half; and handleSnapshotRestoreVolumeDefinition writes into a definition being torn down with no DELETE check at all.
What was and was not executed
go build, go vet, golangci-lint ./pkg/rest/... and go test ./pkg/rest/ are clean at head.
The satellite half of the first finding is read off create-md --force (pkg/drbd/drbdadm.go:186) and meta-disk internal (pkg/drbd/conffile.go:200) at their pinned lines, not executed: the REST side answering 201 is reproduced, the write to the device is inferred from those two. Worth noting that this is the same mechanism as the incident on the encrypted stand, where create-md --force ran over valid metadata and only drbdmeta exit 40 prevented the loss.
internal/cli/snapshot.go:341 still writes the marker as args.fromResource + ":" + snap.Name, so a REST retry over a CLI-made leftover misses unless the source name is already lower-case.

[MAJOR] the layer-stack guard covers LUKS membership, not DRBD
The refusal argument, that the clone restores the bytes and brings the stack up over them in that order, is not LUKS-specific. drbdadm create-md runs with --force (pkg/drbd/drbdadm.go:186-191) over meta-disk internal (pkg/drbd/conffile.go:200), so a layer_list adding DRBD to a source that has none stamps metadata across the tail of the just-restored bytes, and the clone answers 201. The one gate before create-md is HasMD: DRBD metadata, never a filesystem signature. Dropping DRBD is the mirror case, pinned as intended by TestRDCloneHonoursTheCallersShapeOnTheDataPath. Extend the predicate to every layer whose bring-up writes to the device.

[MAJOR] the resume re-runs the data plane over an unchecked snapshot
ensureCloneSnapshot reuses the leftover clone-<target> snapshot as it finds it (rd_clone.go:562-566). A marker-bearing leftover used to be answered 201 and touched nothing, so the target stayed empty and computeCloneStatus reported FAILED. The retry now hydrates from that snapshot, so a source resized between attempts yields a clone at the old size and a COMPLETE poll. The CLI door refuses the same reuse with errStaleCloneSnapshot, comparing volume count and per-volume size (internal/cli/definition.go:193-235); port that check here.

[MAJOR] the clone half of the case-fold fix was not made, so a retry in another case is still terminal
Reported last round on the restore side and fixed there: restoreTargetState now compares restoreMarker(snap.ResourceName, snap.Name), both halves off the stored object. The clone half of the same guard still derives its marker from the caller: restoreMarker(srcName, cloneSnapshotName(cloneName)) with cloneName = req.Name, while materializeRestoredRD:577 writes it from the stored snapshot.
The input is legal end to end: an uppercase clone target is accepted on the first attempt (201), and pkg/store/k8s/crdname.go:92 lowercases every lookup key, so both spellings resolve to one object.
PROBE first clone with an uppercase target: status=201
PROBE clone retry spelled DST-CASE over a leftover stored dst-case: status=409
msg="clone target 'DST-CASE' already exists and is not a clone of 'src-case'"
PROBE target volumes after the retry: 0
The leftover keeps zero volumes and every retry is refused, which is the terminal-on-first-failure behaviour the resume path exists to end. Three passes of this review reached it independently, including one that saw only the prior findings and the code. Pass snap the way the restore side now does.

[MINOR] two behavioural changes are held by no test
review-helper mutate reports GAPS: 2, answered: 8 of 8. Reverting deletePropNamespaces on this data-bearing path leaves the whole pkg/rest suite green, since TestRDCloneHonoursDeleteNamespaces only exercises the volume-less shortcut. Reverting the marker's source-RD half to restoreMarker(srcRD, snap.Name) is green too: caseFoldingStore folds the snapshot store, not the RD store, so only the snapshot half of the case-fold fix is pinned.

[MAJOR] a resumed clone validates the caller's resource_group and then drops it
cloneResourceGroupExists runs on every attempt (rd_clone.go:203), and the clone hands the group and the stack down as rdShapeOverrides (rd_clone.go:384). On the resume path those overrides are assembled into newRD, Create returns ErrAlreadyExists, the marker matches, and the code proceeds:
err = s.Store.ResourceDefinitions().Create(ctx, &newRD)
if err != nil {
if !errors.Is(err, store.ErrAlreadyExists) { return "", err }
existing, getErr := s.Store.ResourceDefinitions().Get(ctx, newRD.Name)
...
}newRD is discarded and the existing definition is never updated, so the retry's resource_group is validated and then silently ignored while the response says the clone completed on retry.
Failure: a first clone pinning grp-a dies after the definition is created; the operator retries pinning grp-b; the server answers 201 and the definition stays parented to grp-a, which decides replica count and pool selection. This is the shape the endpoint already refuses elsewhere: external_name and volume_passphrases are rejected precisely so a field is not accepted and dropped. Either apply the overrides to the existing definition or refuse a retry whose shape differs from the leftover's.

[MINOR] the AlreadyExists fallback re-checks the marker but not the DELETE flag
restoreTargetState (:406) and cloneTargetState (rd_clone.go:535) both refuse a target carrying rdFlagDelete, on the stated grounds that finishing it would race the tear-down reaping what it writes. This fallback re-makes that decision on fresh state, as its comment says, but re-makes only the marker half: nothing here reads existing.Flags.
Failure: request A finds no target; a concurrent request B completes the restore and the target is then deleted; A's Create hits AlreadyExists, the marker matches, and A hydrates volumes and places replicas into a dying definition. Narrow window, but it is the exact state the 409 above exists to prevent.
Sibling gap on the same theme, not this line: handleSnapshotRestoreVolumeDefinition discards the definition it fetches (:116) and hydrates with no DELETE check at all.

Both majors on the layer stack and the resume are fixed, along with the two minors and the two adjacent gaps you noted.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Thirteen of the fourteen items from the earlier rounds are closed, each confirmed by reverting the fix and watching a named test go red rather than by reading the diff, and the widened layer guard does not re-break clone-from-volume. What blocks is that the staleness guard added this round compares the leftover snapshot against the live source instead of against the target it resumes, which makes an ordinary resize turn a finished clone's retry into a permanent 409.
Reviewed at a3c87e4 against merge-base 709dd35.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:709, the staleness guard compares against the source, so a retry of a finished clone is refused forever - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:880, a resumed clone keeps the leftover target's volume shape - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore_idempotency_test.go:271, the case-fold shim folds lookups but not writes, so both case-fold resume tests are vacuous - [MAJOR]
docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md:57, the L6/L7 harness artefacts CLAUDE.md requires for this surface are absent - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:657, the snapshot-reuse branch skips the empty-nodes refusal the create branch enforces - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:750, two of snapshotDivergence's three arms are unpinned - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:535, leftoverShapeDiffers does not resolve an empty stack to the default, unlike its sibling gate - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:632, the marker's source half is still unpinned, so its case-fold fix can regress silently
Still open from my earlier rounds
One item survives: the marker's source half is written from the stored spelling, which is correct, but reverting it to the request's spelling leaves the package green, so nothing holds it.
Closed since the previous round
Verified by mutation, not by reading: the layer guard generalised from LUKS membership to the whole stack in both directions, the resume/refuse split on the clone path, the resource-group gate on both paths, the mid-teardown refusals including the one on the volume-definition restore that had no check at all, the store-sourced marker on both halves, delete_namespaces on the data path, and the const moved out of the doc comment. Where a single revert stayed green because two defences overlap, the pair was reverted together and did go red.
Worth stating plainly, since it was the risk in widening that guard: a source that stores no explicit stack, receiving linstor-csi's explicit [DRBD, STORAGE], still returns 201, and dropping the empty-to-default resolution reddens the test written for it. The main path is intact.
What was and was not executed
go build, go vet, golangci-lint and go test ./pkg/rest/ are clean at head.
Not executed: the satellite data plane, and the live-stand runs the contributor guide requires for this surface. The DRBD half of the earlier layer finding was read off create-md --force and meta-disk internal, never run.

[MAJOR] the staleness guard compares against the source, so a retry of a finished clone is refused forever
The guard reads the source's current volumes and diffs the leftover snapshot against them:
current, err := s.Store.VolumeDefinitions().List(ctx, src.Name)
...
divergence := snapshotDivergence(src.Name, snap, current)The comparison it needs is the leftover TARGET against the snapshot it resumes from, which is a point-in-time by construction. Comparing against the live source instead makes an ordinary, unrelated action on the source poison every later attempt.
Three facts from this file make it permanent rather than transient. The snapshot is named deterministically and, per cloneSnapshotName's own doc, "must outlive the clone because zfs clone targets stay dependent on their origin snapshot". Nothing deletes it: the only non-test references are this file and the CLI. And the marker survives, so cloneTargetState keeps classifying the target as resumable.
So after a clone has fully COMPLETED, expanding the source (a legal, routine operation) makes every repeat of that same CreateVolume answer 409 rather than the idempotent success CSI requires: a lost response or a restarted external-provisioner is enough to hit it. The refusal's own Correc, "delete the snapshot so the clone retakes it", cannot be followed, because that snapshot is the origin of the existing clone.
Compare the target's volumes to the snapshot, and let a resume whose target already matches answer 201.

[MAJOR] a resumed clone keeps the leftover target's volume shape
cloneSnapshotIsCurrent compares the leftover snapshot to the source; leftoverShapeDiffers (snapshot_restore.go:535) compares the leftover's resource group and layer stack to the request. Nothing compares the leftover's volumes to the snapshot the resume hydrates from, and this Create tolerates ErrAlreadyExists without reading SizeKib. Follow the staleness refusal's own Correc ("delete the snapshot ... so the clone retakes it") and leave the definition behind: the retry restores a current snapshot into a stale target. computeCloneStatus compares volume counts, not sizes, so the clone-status poll then reports COMPLETE.
$ go test ./pkg/rest -run TestProbeResumeKeepsStaleLeftoverVolumeSize -v
OBSERVED: status=201; retaken snapshot clone-dst-probe covers vol 0 at 131072 KiB
OBSERVED: target dst-probe volume 0 is 65536 KiB (source is 131072 KiB)
CONTROL, no leftover: status=201, volume 0 is 131072 KiB
Extend leftoverShapeDiffers to the volume set (number + SizeKib) against the snapshot, or bring the leftover's volumes up rather than skipping them. Pin it with a leftover RD carrying a 64 MiB volume, no leftover snapshot, and a 128 MiB source, asserting either a 409 or a 128 MiB target.

[MAJOR] the case-fold shim folds lookups but not writes, so both case-fold resume tests are vacuous
caseFoldingStore decorates ResourceDefinitions().Get and Snapshots().Get, but not their Create. The real k8s store lowercases the metadata.name it writes, so a create under a differently-cased name collides there; under the shim it does not. TestRDCloneResumesWhateverCaseTheRetryUses and its restore sibling therefore never reach the ErrAlreadyExists tolerance branch in materializeRestoredRD that they exist to pin: they create a second definition beside the leftover and still pass every assertion.
$ go test ./pkg/rest -run TestProbeCaseFoldShimDoesNotFoldRDCreate -v
OBSERVED: 201; definitions after retry:
[DST-CASE-PROBE dst-case-probe src-case-probe]

| | 83 | `rg spawn-resources` on an over-committed RG (place_count > available nodes) | BEHAVIOR | permanent | Corner D1. Upstream LINSTOR fails `spawn-resources` SHORT when the RG's place_count exceeds the placeable node count: it returns `FAIL_NOT_ENOUGH_NODES` (ret_code 996, "Not enough available nodes") and places NOTHING. blockstor instead takes a DEFERRED, best-effort autoplace path: it spawns the RD + VDs, places as many diskful replicas as the topology allows (e.g. 3 of 7 on a 3-node cluster), and surfaces the shortfall as an INFO in the SUCCESS envelope (`resource definition spawned, autoplace deferred: <rd>: not enough candidate storage pools: placed N of M`, exit 0). The `RGRebalanceReconciler` (`internal/controller/rg_rebalance_controller.go`) then tops the replica count back up additively once more nodes appear. The over-commit `rg create` itself is ACCEPTED by both controllers (parity — never an early create-time error). Rationale: the deferred path lets the CSI external-provisioner retry loop converge on a created RD instead of hard-failing on a cluster that is one node away from satisfying the request, and is strictly additive (scale-down stays an explicit `r d`). Switching spawn back to the upstream 996 short-fail would be a deliberate API change, not a silent regression.

DELIBERATE: skip-sync would require BS to pre-stamp a matching day0 GI and let the fresh replica win the auto-primary election — but a diskful peer already holds data (`anyDiskfulPeerHasData == true`, `pkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go`), so force-priming the fresh replica mints an UNRELATED Current UUID; the data-bearing peer then declines the handshake (`uuid_compare()=unrelated-data`, "Unrelated data, aborting!") and the pair wedges in mutual StandAlone that never auto-recovers (the respawn-StandAlone P0). BS therefore gates the auto-primary seed on `!anyDiskfulPeerHasData(peers)` and `!rdInitialized(rd)`: with a data-bearing peer present the promoted replica comes up Inconsistent and SyncTargets the real bytes off the peer. Data converges correctly; the only cost is a full resync of the volume — the safe trade vs. a StandAlone wedge. Upstream's skip-sync-on-promotion is not reproducible without reintroducing the wedge.

When the per-volume `OutOfSyncKib` is <= 0 (or the VD size is unknown), BS DELIBERATELY renders the BARE literal `SyncSource` / `SyncTarget` with NO `(NN%)` suffix: `withSyncPercent` (pkg/rest/resources.go, called from `annotateSyncProgress`) short-circuits on `outOfSyncKib<=0` rather than emit a misleading `(0%)`/`(100%)`. The drbd replication-state literal can be observed for a brief window before/after the peer-device OutOfSyncKib counter carries a non-zero value, so a bare Sync* token is a real and intended shape. The REGRESSION guarded against is the opposite — a TERMINAL `UpToDate` must never carry a `(NN%)` suffix (Bug A). So the contract is: a Sync* token may render bare OR with `(NN%)`, but a terminal disk_state never carries a percent.

The clone data plane restores the source's bytes and brings the layer stack up over them, in that order, and every layer's bring-up writes to the device — LUKS formats a device carrying no header, DRBD stamps `meta-disk internal` metadata with `create-md --force` — so a layer added here lands across the bytes just restored and the clone reports COMPLETE over them, while a layer dropped leaves the target reading data the missing layer wrote. A source with no recorded stack means the upstream default `[DRBD, STORAGE]`, which is what linstor-csi sends, so the CSI clone path is unaffected. Upstream clones the layer list with the volume, re-encrypting LUKS under the cluster key. A volume-less source has no bytes to lose and keeps taking any stack. A clone resumed over a leftover also keeps that leftover's shape: a retry naming a different `resource_group` or stack is refused rather than answered 201 with the request's shape dropped, and a leftover internal snapshot that has fallen behind the source (a volume added, or resized) is refused rather than cloned from.

CLAUDE.md's CLI-bug-fix protocol requires an L6 cell under tests/e2e/cli-matrix/ and an L7 replay YAML under tests/operator-harness/replay/ to land in the same PR ("Without the YAML the bug counts as open"), and the wire-shape section asks for a replay YAML for novel behaviour. rd clone --delete-namespace returned a 400 before this change and the clone/restore retry semantics are new. The same surface already carries rd-clone-vd-data-plane.{sh,yaml} and snap-vd-restore-volume-conflict-rejected.{sh,yaml}, and rows 86-87 cite L1 pins only where rows 83-85 cite L6.

Correction to this comment. rd clone --delete-namespace does not exist, and there was no CLI-level 400. I should have checked the client's argument surface instead of assuming it.
At linstor-client 1.29.1, resource-definition clone takes only these:
usage: linstor resource-definition clone [-h] [-e EXTERNAL_NAME] [--no-wait]
[--wait-timeout WAIT_TIMEOUT]
[--use-zfs-clone]
[--volume-passphrase [VOLUME_PASSPHRASE ...]]
[--volume-size [VOLUME_SIZE ...]]
[-l LAYER_LIST]
[--resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP]
source_resource [clone_name]
delete_namespaces reaches this endpoint through the REST body only, so no cli-matrix cell can drive it and asking for one was wrong. Driving it over raw REST is the right call.
The rest of the finding stands. The clone and restore retry semantics are new and are CLI-reachable, and that is what the L6 cell and the L7 replay are being asked for.

[MINOR] the snapshot-reuse branch skips the empty-nodes refusal the create branch enforces
cloneSnapshotPreconditionsHold runs only on the branch that creates the snapshot. On reuse only cloneSnapshotIsCurrent runs, and it never looks at snap.Nodes. A leftover snapshot recording no nodes therefore passes, placeRestoredResources stamps nothing, and the clone answers 201 with zero replicas: the Bug-114 empty shell the create branch refuses with a 409.
TestProbeReuseBranchSkipsTheEmptyNodesRefusal observed status=201 with 0 replicas stamped; the control (create branch against an undeployed source) returns 409. The only trigger is a Snapshot object with an empty node list, a shape the code itself calls legacy, so reachability is narrow.

[MINOR] two of snapshotDivergence's three arms are unpinned
Per-term mutation of the ported staleness check: deleting the volume-count arm, and separately the "does not cover volume N" arm, each leaves the whole pkg/rest suite green (go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1, ok both times). Only the size arm reddens TestRDCloneRefusesToResumeOverAStaleSnapshot.
The count arm is load-bearing in one direction the fixtures do not cover: when the source has LOST a volume, the per-volume loop walks only the source's current volumes and finds every one of them in the snapshot, so without the count arm the stale snapshot passes. Add a fixture where the source drops a volume between attempts.

[MINOR] leftoverShapeDiffers does not resolve an empty stack to the default, unlike its sibling gate
cloneLayerStackIsHonourable resolves an unset source stack to apiv1.DefaultLayerStack(), on the stated grounds that an RD stored without an explicit stack is not a definition with no layers. This function compares raw slices instead, and cloneTargetShape copies src.LayerStack unresolved.
A leftover stamped [DRBD, STORAGE] by a linstor-csi attempt, over a source storing no stack, therefore refuses a retry that omits layer_list:
OBSERVED retry-without-layer_list status=409
message="clone target 'p12-dst' was started with layer stack DRBD,STORAGE, not "
Note the message renders the empty side as nothing at all. Reachable when the two attempts come from different clients (CLI start, CSI retry, or the reverse), which keeps it minor, but it is the same empty-means-default mistake the neighbouring gate documents and fixes. Two passes of this review reached it independently.

[MINOR] the marker's source half is still unpinned, so its case-fold fix can regress silently
Reverting this to restoreMarker(srcRD, snap.Name), the request's spelling instead of the stored one, leaves the whole pkg/rest package green.
It is not a no-op change: restoring into /v1/resource-definitions/PVC-SRC/... over a case-folding store writes the marker as PVC-SRC:snap-1 where the stored spelling is pvc-src:snap-1. Every shipped restore test spells the source in the case it is stored in, and TestSnapshotRestoreResumesWhateverCaseTheRetryUses varies only the snapshot half, so nothing covers this one. The clone path cannot cover it either, since cloneWithData takes src.Name off the store.
Reported last round on the same line and still the one item of that round left open.

All four majors and the four minors from this round are fixed, along with the coderabbit finding on the same surface. Each was checked by reverting the fix and confirming a named test goes red. The staleness guard refusing a finished clone forever. This one was mine, and the worst kind: the guard I added last round turned an ordinary A resumed clone keeping the leftover target's volume shape. The comparison landed in that same place rather than in The case-fold shim. It folds The L6/L7 artefacts. One correction inside that item, because the error is mine and it travelled into your review text: The reuse branch skipping the empty-nodes refusal. snapshotDivergence's two unpinned arms. Both are pinned. The count arm by leftoverShapeDiffers and the empty stack. Both sides of that comparison resolve through The marker's source half. Pinned by Coderabbit, on the same surface. A replay of a finished clone answered 201 without applying the request's property edits, so a retry that also changed a property dropped it silently — the same accept-and-drop the shape refusal exists to prevent. |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The vd set-size regression from last round is closed, and 20 of the 21 items I raised in earlier rounds are gone, each held by a test that reddens when its fix is reverted. Good round.
What is left is that the new finished-clone check is not yet the answer its own comment claims. Three doors still let live-source state, or the absence of the internal snapshot, decide the replay of a clone that already finished. A fourth turns a resumable half-clone into a permanent refusal. All four are reproduced below against store.NewInMemory(), each with a control.
The comment on resumedCloneIsFinished says "Nothing about the source can change that answer". That is the right contract. So far it holds for the volume size and nothing else.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:820, a resumed clone is called finished before any replica exists - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:358, three live-source questions are still asked before the finished question - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:655, a replay whose internal snapshot is gone re-snapshots the live source, then refuses forever - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:888, a half-hydrated multi-volume clone is refused rather than resumed - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:674, the reused-snapshot branch skips the gates the create branch applies - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/props_modify.go:75, delete_namespaces is still accepted and dropped on rd modify
Still open from my earlier rounds
One item, and it is the fix rather than the defect. The leftover-shape check I asked for in round 3 landed, but it draws its line at "the volume count differs" instead of "a volume that is present differs". A clone of a multi-volume source that died part way through hydration is now refused forever, where the sibling restore endpoint resumes the identical state. Single-volume CSI traffic never reaches it, which is why no test does either.
Caveats
- All of this is against the in-memory store.
bin/k8sis uncommitted, so the CRD-store and integration suites skip locally and prove nothing about CRD-level behaviour. - The L6 cell and the L7 replay for this surface are both here and both substantive, and the parity rows cite them. CLAUDE.md also wants the replay green on a live stand before a CLI bug counts as fixed, and the PR evidences unit tests and lint, so that half I cannot check from here.
- The new e2e worker discovery keys on
app=blockstor-satellite. Where that label does not match, every cell skips itself instead of failing.

[MAJOR] a resumed clone is called finished before any replica exists
materializeRestoredRD creates the definition, hydrates the volumes (snapshot_restore.go:682), then stamps the replicas (snapshot_restore.go:693). resumedCloneIsFinished reads VolumeDefinitions().List alone, so it calls a leftover finished the instant hydrate returns and before a single Resource exists, and cloneMayProceedFromSnapshot writes the answer without ever reaching placement. An attempt that dies in that window leaves a target every later retry answers 201 over, and the status poll agrees because computeCloneStatus compares volume counts.
The Bug 354 comment on placeRestoredResources describes that exact state as the bug it exists to prevent: "the restored RD stayed an empty shell". The new check can now certify it as complete.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbe190 -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: after a COMPLETE first clone the target has 1 replica(s)
OBSERVED: retry over a hydrated-but-unplaced leftover -> HTTP 201, message
"resource definition clone completed on retry: dst-probe", replicas now 0
OBSERVED: GET /clone/dst-probe -> HTTP 200 {"status":"COMPLETE"}
CONTROL: retry over a leftover with no volumes -> HTTP 201, replicas now 1
Either require replicas as well as volumes before calling a leftover finished, or re-run placement on the finished branch, which is idempotent now. Whichever you pick, pin it: across the six new test files the only Resources() read is rd_clone_review3_test.go:170, inside a refusal test, so nothing today would notice a resume that places nothing.

[MAJOR] three live-source questions are still asked before the finished question
abef349 moved the snapshot staleness check after the finished branch, which is the right shape. Three checks on the same path were left in front of it: cloneLayerStackIsHonourable at line 354, the source DELETE check, and cloneTargetState at line 358, whose leftoverShapeDiffers compares the leftover against cloneTargetShape and therefore against the LIVE source's resource group. So a routine rd modify --resource-group on the source turns every later replay of an already-finished clone into a 409.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbe190_ReplayPoisoned -count=1 -v
CONTROL: replay of the finished clone before the move -> HTTP 201
OBSERVED: replay after `rd modify --resource-group` on the source -> HTTP 409,
"clone target 'dst-rg' was started with resource group 'grp-a', not 'grp-b'" /
"retry with the shape the clone was started with, or delete 'dst-rg' and clone again"
This is the same shape as the size regression the commit fixed, one field over. The correction is also not one the caller it is aimed at can follow: linstor-csi sends the same body on every retry, and the shape it is judged against is derived from the source, not from its request.

[MAJOR] a replay whose internal snapshot is gone re-snapshots the live source, then refuses forever
ensureCloneSnapshot knows nothing about resume. When clone-<dst> is absent it falls into the create branch and takes a NEW snapshot of the CURRENT source (Snapshots().Create, line 708), and only afterwards does cloneMayProceedFromSnapshot ask whether the clone is finished. Two consequences.
A pure replay of a finished clone mutates cluster state: a fresh clone-<dst> with per-node snapshot objects, claiming by its name to be that clone's origin while recording a different point-in-time.
And once the source has grown, the freshly taken snapshot diverges from the finished target, so the replay is refused permanently, because that same fresh snapshot is now in the store for the next attempt to find.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbeDisp190_Replay|TestProbeDisp190_Control' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: pure replay of a FINISHED clone -> HTTP 201, and it re-snapshotted the live source: "clone-dst-nosnap" is back with nodes [node-a]
CONTROL: replay with the internal snapshot still present -> HTTP 201
OBSERVED: replay after the source grew -> HTTP 409, "clone of resource definition 'src-nosnap' refused: clone-dst-nosnap captured volume 0 at 131072 KiB but dst-nosnap is now 65536 KiB" / correction "delete 'dst-nosnap' and clone again, or clone under a different name"
OBSERVED: the very next replay -> HTTP 409 (the refusal is not transient)
The door is reachable: handleSnapshotDelete (pkg/rest/snapshots.go:1233) deletes unconditionally, with no guard for a snapshot a clone depends on, and operators do remove stray clone-* snapshots because they block deleting the source. The correction printed here is worse than unfollowable: following it destroys a finished clone that may hold live data. Asking the finished question before taking any snapshot resolves it.

[MAJOR] a half-hydrated multi-volume clone is refused rather than resumed
The leftover-shape guard I asked for last round is here, but snapshotDivergence's first arm compares the NUMBER of volumes. A clone of a multi-volume source whose first attempt died between two VolumeDefinitions().Create calls leaves a leftover that is a strict prefix of what this same clone would restore, and it is classified as somebody else's definition.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeDisp190_PartialHydration -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: retry over a half-hydrated leftover -> HTTP 409, "clone of resource definition 'src-mv' refused: clone-dst-mv covers 2 volume(s) but dst-mv now has 1" / correction "delete 'dst-mv' and clone again, or clone under a different name"; target still has 1 of 2 volumes
OBSERVED: the very next retry -> HTTP 409 (not transient)
hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot tolerates an already-present volume at the matching size precisely so a partial hydration can be finished, and the restore endpoint sharing this data plane does resume the identical state. docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md:58 promises "A repeat under the same name RESUMES it — every step tolerates an object a previous attempt already created"; the comment at rd_clone.go:794 scopes resume to "The target has no volumes", and everything between zero and all falls into the refusal.
One PVC is one volume, so CSI never reaches this and no test does either. The narrower line, refuse on a volume that IS present and differs and resume otherwise, closes the original defect without stranding the partial.

[MINOR] the reused-snapshot branch skips the gates the create branch applies
The empty-nodes refusal added here closes the case I raised last round. The rest of cloneSnapshotPreconditionsHold, offline nodes and snapshot-capable pools, still runs only on the branch that takes the snapshot, so one cluster state gives two answers.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbe190_ReusedSnapshot -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: retry over a leftover snapshot with node-a OFFLINE -> HTTP 201
CONTROL: first clone with node-a OFFLINE (snapshot must be taken) -> HTTP 503
The replica is stamped on a node whose satellite cannot act on it, and the data is recoverable once the node returns, so this is not on par with the blockers above. It is here because the retry path is the weaker door on a guard that exists for a reason.

[MINOR] delete_namespaces is still accepted and dropped on rd modify
The helper added here reaches both clone paths and mergeVolumeDefinitionPatch, but not the resource-definition modify endpoint. resource_definitions.go:971 declares delete_namespaces on the modify body and resource_definitions.go:1093 merges only override_props and delete_props, so linstor rd delete-property <rd> --namespace <ns> returns 200 and changes nothing.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe190_RDModify|TestProbe190_ControlVD' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: PUT {"delete_namespaces":["DrbdOptions"]} -> HTTP 200, props now
map[DrbdOptions:top DrbdOptions/Net/protocol:C DrbdOptionsOther:keep-me]
CONTROL: VD patch with delete_namespaces -> props now map[DrbdOptionsOther:keep-me]
Graded MINOR rather than MAJOR because it is identical before and after this change, on an endpoint the PR does not touch. Blocking on it would be blocking on something that is not this PR's doing. Raised anyway because the PR's own argument for embedding the triple is that declaring two thirds of a props-modify envelope and dropping the rest tells the operator work happened when it did not, and the fix here is one call to deletePropNamespaces at the merge site.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Correction to my own text here, since the same mistake has now travelled twice on this surface: linstor rd delete-property <rd> --namespace <ns> is not a real invocation. delete-property takes the key alone (internal/cli/props.go:38 reads positionals and no flags), and this PR's own cell README says it plainly: delete_namespaces is a wire field from golinstor's GenericPropsModify with no flag behind it. So the caller that reaches this is a REST client, not the CLI, and that is how the sentence should have read.
The finding is unchanged. resource_definitions.go:971 declares delete_namespaces on the modify body, the merge site at :1093 handles only override_props and delete_props, and a client sending the field is told the work happened:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe190_RDModify|TestProbe190_ControlVD' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: PUT {"delete_namespaces":["DrbdOptions"]} -> HTTP 200, props now
map[DrbdOptions:top DrbdOptions/Net/protocol:C DrbdOptionsOther:keep-me]
CONTROL: VD patch with delete_namespaces -> props now map[DrbdOptionsOther:keep-me]
Still MINOR, still pre-existing, still one call to deletePropNamespaces at the merge site.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Every one of the twenty-eight findings from the earlier rounds is closed, and each closure survives having its fix reverted: the suite goes red on a named test. That is the whole backlog, and it is worth saying plainly before the rest.
af9d9e6 is also the right idea. Asking whether the clone is finished before reading anything about the live source is what the last three rounds were circling. What it does is hoist the whole block, and two different things were sitting in it: state derived from the live source, which a replay must indeed ignore, and the shape the caller asked for in the request body, which it must not. The second went over the side with the first, and the same boundary is misplaced in three more ways below, one of them a straight regression against the parent commit.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:373, a replay accepts the shape the caller asked for and drops it - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:883, one replica certifies a half-placed clone as finished - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:855, the face-value branch is entered on any snapshot read error, not only on absence - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:382, an unfinished leftover is still judged against the live source, where retries actually live - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1251, the endpoint CSI polls contradicts the replay it just answered - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:969, the stale-snapshot correction leads through a bare 500 - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:919, expanding the clone itself makes every later replay a 409 that says to delete it - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1101, the resource-group path still accepts delete_namespaces and drops it - [NIT]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:856, leftoverAgainstSnapshot is computed twice on the same input
Still open from my earlier rounds
Nothing. Twenty-eight of twenty-eight, each mutation-proved.
Caveats
- All of this is against the in-memory store.
bin/k8sis uncommitted, sopkg/store/k8sandtests/integrationskip silently and none of these verdicts rest on them. - Build, vet and lint are clean and
go test ./pkg/rest/is green. Neither the L6 cell nor the L7 replay reaches any of the states in this review, and the L7 run on a live stand that CLAUDE.md asks for is not evidenced for this revision. tests/e2e/lib.shfolds a failedkubectlinto "no satellite workers" andskip()exits 0, so losing cluster access turns a required gate into a pass.
Findings not anchored to changed lines
These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.
[MAJOR] pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1251 the endpoint CSI polls contradicts the replay it just answered
The POST was made independent of the live source. The GET that linstor-csi polls in a loop right after it was not: computeCloneStatus still compares the LIVE source's volume count against the target's and reports FAILED when the target has fewer.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeShape_StatusPoll -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: replay POST -> HTTP 201; the poll right after it -> HTTP 200 {"status":"FAILED"}
The trigger is a volume added to the source after the clone finished, which is legal and routine. The driver is handed a successful CreateVolume and then a terminal failure for the same clone, one request apart.
This one is not a regression from this commit; it is the half of the commit's own contract that did not get delivered. "A finished clone is a copy of a point-in-time and owes the source nothing" has to hold for the answer CSI reads, not only for the answer it is given.
| // snapshot that diverges from the finished target — and refuses the | ||
| // replay from then on, permanently, with a correction that destroys a | ||
| // clone holding live data. | ||

[MAJOR] a replay accepts the shape the caller asked for and drops it
replayOfFinishedClone runs first, and everything that validates the REQUESTED shape sits below it: cloneLayerStackIsHonourable at :378 and the leftoverShapeDiffers call inside cloneTargetState at :382. replayOfFinishedClone reads the marker, the flags, the volumes and the replicas, and never looks at req.LayerList or req.ResourceGroup.
This is a regression, not a trade. The same two bodies against the parent commit:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeShape -count=1 -v # HEAD af9d9e6
OBSERVED: replay asking for resource_group=grp-other -> HTTP 201; clone's RG is now "grp-a"
OBSERVED: replay asking for layer_list=[storage] on a [DRBD,STORAGE] source -> HTTP 201
$ git checkout af9d9e6^ && go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeShape -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: replay asking for resource_group=grp-other -> HTTP 409; clone's RG is now "grp-a"
OBSERVED: replay asking for layer_list=[storage] on a [DRBD,STORAGE] source -> HTTP 400
A caller who names --layer-list with LUKS is told the clone completed and gets a plaintext one. That is the accept-and-drop this endpoint 501s external_name and volume_passphrases to avoid, and it contradicts row 86 of docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md, added by this PR, which promises a retry naming a different resource_group or stack is refused rather than answered 201 with the request's shape dropped.
The narrower cure is the one the commit message argues for: compare only the fields the caller actually named (req.ResourceGroup != "", len(req.LayerList) > 0) against the LEFTOVER. The CSI replay sends neither and stays green.

[MAJOR] one replica certifies a half-placed clone as finished
stampRestoredResourcesOnNodes (snapshot_restore.go:816) creates one Resource per snapshot node and returns on the FIRST hard error, having already created the ones before it. So a leftover carrying 1 of N replicas is an ordinary intermediate state, and len(replicas) > 0 calls it finished.

OBSERVED: a COMPLETE clone of a two-node source placed 2 replica(s)

"resource definition clone completed on retry: dst-underrep", replicas still 1
Nothing tops it up: this path is one-shot with no follow-up autoplace, by its own comment. CSI publishes a PV at half the redundancy the placement resolved, and the status poll agrees because it counts volumes.
This is the Bug 354 argument the function already makes about volumes, one level up. Volumes alone certified the empty shell; one replica now certifies the half-placed clone. Compare the replica node set against snap.Nodes while the snapshot is readable.

[MAJOR] the face-value branch is entered on any snapshot read error, not only on absence
Both classification branches gate on snapErr == nil:
snap, snapErr := s.Store.Snapshots().Get(ctx, src.Name, cloneSnapshotName(cloneName))
if snapErr == nil && leftoverAgainstSnapshot(&snap, targetVDs) == leftoverForeign {So a timeout, a 403, a transport error, anything that is not ErrNotFound, takes the branch the comment describes as "when the internal snapshot is gone the volumes are taken at face value", and the one shape that comment says cannot be finished is answered 201.
"The snapshot does not exist" is a fact about the world. "I could not read the snapshot" is a fact about this request. Deciding a clone is complete on the second is the fail-open the rest of this file is careful to avoid. One line: branch on errors.Is(snapErr, store.ErrNotFound) and treat every other error as blocking, the way writeStoreError already distinguishes them here.

[MAJOR] an unfinished leftover is still judged against the live source, where retries actually live
The hoist took the live-source comparison off the replay path and left it on the other one. cloneTargetState still calls leftoverShapeDiffers(&existing, cloneTargetShape(src, req)), and cloneTargetShape derives what it wants from the LIVE source, ResourceGroupName: src.ResourceGroupName. So the defect the commit set out to kill is alive on the branch a retry of an unfinished clone takes, which is the branch the resume exists for.
No caller changes their mind in this sequence. The first attempt dies after hydrating and before placing; the source's resource group is changed for unrelated reasons; the retry arrives with the body it always sends.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeShape_UnfinishedLeftover -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: retry of an UNFINISHED leftover after the source's group moved -> HTTP 409
"clone target 'dst-unf' was started with resource group '', not 'grp-new'" /
"retry with the shape the clone was started with, or delete 'dst-unf' and clone again";
next retry -> HTTP 409
Permanent, and neither correction is one external-provisioner can act on: it cannot express "the shape the clone was started with", and it does not delete leftovers. The half-made clone is stuck exactly where a resume was supposed to finish it.

[MINOR] the stale-snapshot correction leads through a bare 500
A leftover hydrated but never placed, the state TestRDCloneResumesALeftoverThatWasHydratedButNeverPlaced pins as resumable, is refused once the source has been resized in between, and following the printed correction makes it worse before it gets better:
1 -> 409 "clone-dst captured volume 0 at 65536 KiB but src is now 131072 KiB"
correc: delete the snapshot 'clone-dst' so the clone retakes it
2 -> 500 "volume 0 on resource definition dst: object already exists" correc: ""
3 -> 409 "holds a volume this clone would not have written" (actionable at last)
Step 2 is a bare 500 with an empty Correc, and it has by then taken a fresh snapshot of the live source under the name that asserts it is this clone's origin. Either name deleting the target in step 1's correction, or let the resume re-derive from the snapshot the leftover's volumes actually came from.

[MINOR] expanding the clone itself makes every later replay a 409 that says to delete it
leftoverAgainstSnapshot classifies by comparing the target's volumes to the snapshot, so a finished clone whose volume was later expanded, an ordinary ControllerExpandVolume on the clone, reads as leftoverForeign: a replay is refused with "holds a volume this clone would not have written" and the correction "delete '' and clone again", aimed at a clone with live data on it.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeShape_ExpandingTheCloneItself -count=1 -v

'src-exp' refused: 'dst-exp' holds a volume this clone would not have written"
correc="delete 'dst-exp' and clone again, or clone under a different name"
Pre-existing rather than introduced here, and graded MINOR for that reason. It is in this round because it is the same invariant the commit is built on, a finished clone owes the source nothing, failing in the other direction: the clone owes the snapshot nothing either once it is finished. Note also that the answer is inconsistent with itself, since deleting the snapshot makes the identical state answer 201 through the face-value branch.

[MINOR] the resource-group path still accepts delete_namespaces and drops it
The fix landed for resource definitions. The resource-group modify body declares the same field, DeleteNamespace []string with the delete_namespaces json tag, and its merge applies only OverrideProps and DeleteProps, never deletePropNamespaces. Same accept-and-drop, same class, one call site away.
Out of this diff, so not blocking, and flagged only because the argument this PR makes for embedding the whole triple rather than respelling two thirds of it applies unchanged to the sibling.

[NIT] leftoverAgainstSnapshot is computed twice on the same input
Lines :856 and :870 call it with identical arguments, once per classification. Cheap either way, but it invites the two calls to drift apart under a later edit, which for a classifier deciding between resume and refuse is not a place to leave a seam. Hold the result in a variable.
|
All nine fixed, including the status poll one. Shape is compared only where the caller named it and only against the leftover, on all three places that compared it. The third was inside materializeRestoredRD's AlreadyExists tolerance, so fixing cloneTargetState alone would still have failed the resume. Finished now means a replica on every node the snapshot recorded, and only an absent snapshot takes the face-value branch. The poll and the replay share one read-only assessment now, so they can't disagree again. One thing I'd like you to look at: an expanded clone counts as this clone when a volume is larger than captured, and foreign only when it's smaller or has a number the snapshot doesn't have. Nothing shrinks a volume, so I think that line is right, but it's a judgement call. |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Twelve of the fifteen findings left open after the last round are closed here, and every closure is held by a test that reddens when the fix is reverted. The blocker is that replicasCoverNodes makes "finished" depend on where the replicas are right now, which two ordinary operations change.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:886, a replica migration makes a healthy clone unfinished, and the replay undoes it - [MAJOR]

A correction I owe this PR
Four comments in the tree now assert command lines that do not exist, and the phrasing is mine: I published linstor rd delete-property --namespace in an earlier round and corrected it here on 2026-09-10. The correction did not reach the code, and 6b3f687 added a third copy at resource_groups.go:638.
$ go build -o /tmp/bs-cli ./cmd/blockstor
$ /tmp/bs-cli rg delete-property mygroup --namespace DrbdOptions
error: usage: unknown flag "--namespace"
$ /tmp/bs-cli rd clone --delete-namespace foo src dst
error: usage: unknown flag "--delete-namespace"
Also at resource_definitions.go:1096, rd_clone_review3_test.go:743, rd_clone_idempotency_test.go:241. The fields are real and wire-level; only the flags are invented. Sorry for the noise this caused.
Caveats
- The snapshot-gone arm of
assessMarkedCloneis unchanged: withclone-<dst>absent, a leftover holding one replica of two, or one volume of two, still answers 201 and polls COMPLETE. Identical on both revisions, so not a regression. - The ordering these rounds have fought over is pinned only against the snapshot step. Moving the replay below the layer, target-state and source-DELETE checks leaves the whole package green.

[MAJOR] a replica migration makes a healthy clone unfinished, and the replay undoes it
The finished test went from len(replicas) > 0 to requiring every node the snapshot recorded to still carry a replica. Evacuating a node is an ordinary operation and it changes that set, so a clone that completed is reassessed as unfinished and the resume re-stamps a replica on the node the operator just emptied.
The same probe on both revisions:
af9d9e6: replay after migration -> replicas [node-c]
6b3f687: replay after migration -> replicas [node-a node-c]
The marker is written RD-level, so the resurrected replica materialises from the original point-in-time snapshot while the migrated one has moved on with live writes: two replicas of one definition carrying different content, with the sync direction left to DRBD.
The principle this commit states two paragraphs above the change is the right one. Placement is not part of what a point-in-time copy is, and nothing in the system keeps a finished clone's replicas pinned to snap.Nodes.
The same shape reaches a second door: scale a clone down and then let the source grow, and the replay is refused permanently with a correction that deletes a clone holding live data. That is the failure mode the previous two rounds removed for the group-move and expand cases, re-entering through placement.

[MAJOR] FAILED is an answer linstor-csi cannot act on
linstor-csi v1.10.1 POSTs the clone only when the status GET answers 404, and then polls. There is no FAILED branch and no second POST, so every leftover the POST path learned to resume is one that client never reaches, and a FAILED answer leaves it waiting forever.
Read at the source rather than inferred:
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/piraeusdatastore/linstor-csi/877bf29/pkg/client/linstor.go
410: status, err := s.client.ResourceDefinitions.CloneStatus(ctx, src.ID, vol.ID)
412: if errors.Is(err, lapi.NotFoundError) { <- the only path that POSTs
437: for status.Status != clonestatus.Complete { <- no FAILED branch
439: time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
Combined with the finding above this matters more than on its own: evacuating a node flips the poll from COMPLETE to FAILED on a clone that is healthy, and the driver then waits on it forever.
After COMPLETE the driver runs its own placement reconciliation, so an answer of COMPLETE over a not-yet-placed clone is not the disaster the FAILED default was chosen to avoid.

[MAJOR] the expanded-clone tolerance is missing from the resume it routes into
leftoverAgainstSnapshot now calls a volume larger than the snapshot captured "still this clone", which is right. hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot (snapshot_restore.go:952) still refuses any size that is not equal. The two halves of one state machine disagree about what an expanded volume means, so a clone that was expanded and then lost a replica is admitted by the classifier and rejected by the hydrate.
retry 1 -> HTTP 500
retry 2 -> HTTP 500 (the loop does not converge)
The 500 carries no cause and no correction, which is the shape cloneSnapshotIsCurrent gained a correction to avoid one screen up. Narrower than the two above, since it needs an expansion and an incomplete placement together.

[MAJOR] the rgName != "" term is this round's fix and no test holds it
The test named for this behaviour seeds its leftover through a helper that sets no ResourceGroupName, so both operands of the comparison are empty and the new term never discriminates. Graded against every Clone and Restore test in the package, not just the named one:
$ review-helper mutate <clone> --mutations rg.json --json
verdict: GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
test: go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'Clone|Restore' -count=1
The term is load-bearing on the state it was added for, which makes the missing fixture the whole point: a leftover that carries a group, which is what materializeRestoredRD writes, with the source moved to another group and the request naming neither.
| // shape — a caller who named LUKS gets plaintext. The comparison is | ||

[MINOR] the shape refusal calls an unfinished leftover finished
The check runs before the finished test, so a leftover with no volumes at all is refused with "the clone under that name is already finished, so the shape this request asks for would be validated and then ignored". Nothing established that it is finished.
cloneTargetState:632 carries the right wording for this state, "was started with", and no longer sees it. The 409 is the right outcome; the diagnosis handed to the operator is not.
| // naming a resource group or a layer stack the finished clone does not | ||

| // shape — a caller who named LUKS gets plaintext. The comparison is | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[MINOR] the comment describes a client that does not exist
"the CSI replay, which names neither, is untouched" is false. linstor-csi v1.10.1 sends both on every clone (pkg/client/linstor.go:417-418: LayerList: params.LayerList, ResourceGroup: rGroup.Name), which is what this file's own :102-107 already says about layer_list.
Harmless in practice today, because the leftover carries the shape the first request set and the comparison is against the leftover. The guard's safety argument is what rests on the false half.

[MINOR] a command line that does not exist, and the phrasing is mine
This comment asserts linstor rg delete-property <rg> --namespace <ns>. The flag does not exist, and neither does the --delete-namespace asserted at rd_clone_idempotency_test.go:241. Checked against the built binary rather than against the tree:
$ go build -o /tmp/bs-cli ./cmd/blockstor
$ /tmp/bs-cli rg delete-property mygroup --namespace DrbdOptions
error: usage: unknown flag "--namespace"
$ /tmp/bs-cli rd clone --delete-namespace foo src dst
error: usage: unknown flag "--delete-namespace"
The phrasing is mine: I published it in an earlier round and corrected it in this thread on 2026-09-10. The correction never reached the code, and this commit added a third copy. The other two are at resource_definitions.go:1096 and rd_clone_review3_test.go:743.
The underlying fields are real and wire-level; only the flags are invented. Worth deleting all four so the next reader does not take them for a contract, and sorry for the noise.

All seven fixed. Finished no longer depends on placement: every volume plus at least one replica, on any node. Your migration probe leaves The poll doesn't answer FAILED for a marked target anymore. Unfinished or foreign gets 404, so linstor-csi goes to the POST, which resumes the first and refuses the second with a Correc. A read failure is 500. There is a test that runs the driver sequence: GET, POST on 404, poll until COMPLETE. Please look at the 404 on a definition that exists. It is the only answer that makes linstor-csi POST. The price is that a GET racing an in-flight first attempt gets 404 too, and a driver retry in that window POSTs into the resume path, which tolerates objects the other attempt already created. About the caveats: the replay is pinned ahead of the source DELETE check and the layer check now. It can't be pinned against |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The restore half resumes on the marker alone, which is the assessment the clone half was given this round and the defect the clone half's own comment narrates.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:403, the restore replay resumes on the marker alone and re-stamps a node the operator emptied - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1252, the volume-less clone door copies the source's DELETE flag onto the target - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:967, four guard terms, three of them new this round, have no fixture that isolates them - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1275, refusals on the clone POST skip the CloneStarted envelope
Still open from my earlier rounds
snapshotDivergence's "does not cover volume N" arm is still the one term in that function no test isolates. Its two siblings gained tests this round. Second round open, folded into the finding above rather than filed again.
On answering 404 for a definition that exists
You asked me to look at this, so I checked it at the source instead of reasoning about it. The decision is right, and it is provable rather than plausible.
$ cd <piraeusdatastore/linstor-csi @ 877bf29, tag v1.10.1>
$ sed -n "410,416p;436,441p" pkg/client/linstor.go
status, err := s.client.ResourceDefinitions.CloneStatus(ctx, src.ID, vol.ID)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, lapi.NotFoundError) {
logger.Debugf("create new cloned volume")
_, err := s.client.ResourceDefinitions.Clone(ctx, src.ID, lapi.ResourceDefinitionCloneRequest{
Name: vol.ID,
for status.Status != clonestatus.Complete {
logger.Debug("clone in progress, wait 5 seconds")
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
$ cd <LINBIT/golinstor v0.60.0>
$ grep -n -A2 "resp.StatusCode == 404" client/client.go
578: if resp.StatusCode == 404 {
579- return nil, NotFoundError
580- }
NotFound is the only branch that reaches the POST; the 404 maps before the body is decoded, so your APICallRc rides along harmlessly; and the poll has no bound and no FAILED arm. COMPLETE, 404 and a hard error are therefore the only three answers that cannot hang the driver, which is what rd_clone.go:1338 already says. The racing-GET cost you named is self-correcting: a 404 inside the poll returns an error from CloneStatus, CreateVolume ends, and external-provisioner retries from the top.
A correction I owe you
The PR body says delete_namespaces left rd clone --delete-namespace on the same refusal. That flag does not exist, and the phrasing is mine: I wrote it here in an earlier round and corrected it twice afterwards.
$ cd <LINBIT/linstor-client v1.27.1>
$ grep -rc "delete-namespace" linstor_client/ | grep -v ":0" | wc -l
0
The clone subparser offers external-name, no-wait, wait-timeout, use-zfs-clone, volume-passphrase, layer-list and resource-group, and nothing else. The engineering is untouched: delete_namespaces really is inline on ResourceDefinitionCloneRequest in golinstor v0.60.0 and the new e2e cell posts it correctly over HTTP. Only the sentence is wrong, in the body and in that cell's closing echo.
Caveats
- Two further replay asymmetries I read but did not execute.
cloneRequestIsHonourableruns the resource-group and LUKS checks ahead of the finished question, against the ordering:375states, so a replay afterrg deleteis refused rather than answered. Andvd createon a finished clone makesleftoverAgainstSnapshotclassify it foreign, flipping a healthy volume's status to 404 and its replay to a 409 that tells the operator to delete it. - Static review only. No cluster, and no envtest assets in this tree.

[MAJOR] the restore replay resumes on the marker alone and re-stamps a node the operator emptied
restoreTargetState returns resume=true on a marker match that is not DELETE-flagged, and asks nothing about whether the restore finished. materializeRestoredRD then runs placement again, and stampRestoredResourcesOnNodes re-creates a Resource for every node in the snapshot's recorded list that no longer has one.

The clone half of this PR was given assessMarkedClone for exactly this, and its comment narrates the outcome:
$ sed -n "847,854p" pkg/rest/rd_clone.go
// Where the replicas are is not part of the question. A clone that has one
// replica holds its data, and which nodes carry it afterwards is placement,
// which ordinary operations change: evacuating a node moves a replica off a
// node the snapshot recorded, and scaling down removes one. Asking whether
// every snapshot node still carries a replica read both as unfinished, and the
// resume then re-stamped a replica on the node the operator had just emptied,
// restored from the point-in-time while the surviving replica had moved on
// with live writes: two replicas of one definition with different content. A
Same sentence, same file pair, and the restore path got no equivalent. Before this PR the replay was a 409, so nothing could reach the state; the exposure arrives with the idempotency. An evacuation followed by a runbook re-run is enough.
What would change my mind: a reason the satellite re-materialises a restore-marked replica from the live definition rather than from the recorded point-in-time.

[MAJOR] the volume-less clone door copies the source's DELETE flag onto the target
cloneWithData got cloneSourceIsNotBeingDeleted (rd_clone.go:723) this round. The sibling door got the shape overrides and no such check, and it starts from clone := *src (line 1247), which carries Flags across. wireToCRDRD persists that verbatim (pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:413) and nothing in pkg/rest writes RD flags back, so there is no path that clears it.

Clone a volume-less RD inside its delete window and the 201 hands back a definition that reads DELETE for good: snapshot create (snapshots.go:753), a restore into it (snapshot_restore.go:127, :422) and a clone onto it (rd_clone.go:612) all refuse it, each telling the operator to wait for a delete that will not come. It propagates too, since the next clone of that clone inherits it. Run the guard before the shell copy, or leave Flags out of it.

[MAJOR] four guard terms, three of them new this round, have no fixture that isolates them
Reverting one term at a time, each against the full pkg/rest suite:
$ review-helper mutate /tmp/pr-review-cozystack-blockstor-190 --mutations mut.json
M1 hydrate: drop the ownTarget conjunct (snapshot_restore.go:967) GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
M7 replayOfFinishedClone: drop the DELETE-flag term (rd_clone.go:764) GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
M2b leftoverAgainstSnapshot: drop the !ok term (rd_clone.go:980) GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
P20 snapshotDivergence: drop the does-not-cover-volume arm (:1070) GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
Five sibling terms came back covered in the same pass (the empty-rgName guard, the requested-shape comparison, the marker gate on the status poll, the replica requirement, the smaller-is-foreign term), so these are four specific holes rather than a flat suite.
Each is load-bearing. Without ownTarget the volume-definition restore answers 200 over a volume larger than the one it would have written. Without the DELETE term a finished leftover carrying DELETE is answered 201 and gets prop edits written into a dying definition instead of falling through to cloneTargetState's 409. Without !ok a target holding a volume number the snapshot never recorded reads as complete.
One fixture each, in the shape where that term is the sole discriminator: a finished DELETE-flagged leftover (TestRDCloneRefusesALeftoverBeingDeleted seeds an unfinished one, which is why it stays green), a VD-restore target whose existing volume is LARGER than the snapshot's (TestSnapshotRestoreVolumeDefinitionRefusesAVolumeAtADifferentSize seeds 8 MiB against a 64 MiB snapshot, so grown is false either way), and a clone target carrying an extra volume number. The last of the four is the one I raised last round and it is now the only unpinned arm left in snapshotDivergence.

cloneWithData's doc comment is right about the decode; its siblings do not follow it. writeStoreError and writeError emit a bare []ApiCallRc array (nodes.go:1611).
python-linstor 1.27.1 sends the clone POST through _rest_request_raw (linstorapi.py:545), which has no < 400 branch, unlike _rest_request at :538, so every non-2xx body is handed to CloneStarted; rsc_dfn_cmds.clone() then reads clone_resp.messages, i.e. self._rest_data.get("messages", []) (responses.py:2271).

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Three of the reverts I ran left the suite green, so "every behavioural change here is pinned by a test" does not hold. One of those unpinned terms is the only thing stopping a restore replay from reporting success over a target with no replica.
Separately, and this one is not your bug: the CSI path this PR unblocks ends in a pre-existing trap that leaves the cloned volume's source undeletable.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:572, the path this PR opens for CSI leads into a source that can never be deleted again - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:404, the restore replay'sneedReplicaterm has no isolating fixture - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:669, the test named for this line never reaches it, and the comment above names a case it cannot affect - [MINOR]
internal/cli/snapshot.go:344, the marker rewrite is unpinned - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:283, the clone door creates definitions under namesrd createrefuses - [MINOR]
tests/e2e/cli-matrix/rd-clone-retry-semantics.sh:1, the new L6 cell runs in no CI job
Still open from my earlier rounds
The clone POST still leaves one refusal outside the CloneStarted envelope. TestRDCloneRefusalsKeepTheCloneStartedEnvelope covers the four you fixed, but the body decode at rd_clone.go:276 routes through the shared decodeJSON / writeDecodeError path, which emits a bare []ApiCallRc. Malformed JSON, an unknown field, a body over the size cap or trailing data all reach python-linstor as an array, which is the decode crash the envelope exists to prevent. Second round open, and it is the last one: every other refusal inside handleRDClone, cloneWithData and cloneEmptyRDShell goes through writeCloneRefused or writeCloneStoreError.
Claim mismatches
[PARTIAL] "Every behavioural change here is pinned by a test … checked by reverting the change": 3 of the 28 reverts I ran stayed green.
[UNVERIFIABLE] CLAUDE.md requires replay-runner.sh run on a stand and PASS before a CLI fix counts; Testing names only unit runs.
Caveats
- A clone request can strip or re-point
BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshoton its own target throughoverride_props/delete_props, and the POST still answers 201:delete_propsnaming the marker leaves the target with none, sopkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go:922-927falls back to a blankCreateVolume, andoverride_propscan point it at another definition's snapshot. It reproduces byte for byte at merge-base, so this PR did not cause it;delete_namespacesjoins the triple here and reaches the marker too, sincedeletePropNamespacesmatcheskey == ns. Worth its own issue rather than a change in this PR, especially next to the explicit 501 the same endpoint givesexternal_nameon the same accept-and-drop principle. - No cluster here, so the satellite side of the resume is reasoned, not run.
- Deleting the internal snapshot but not the target, after the source grew, still lands the retry on a bare 500 from
hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot. - Worth running the new replay YAML and the cli-matrix cell on a stand before this merges.

[MAJOR] the path this PR opens for CSI leads into a source that can never be deleted again
Cloning a source with volumes takes an internal snapshot clone-<target> on the SOURCE, and nothing reaps it. handleRDDelete refuses while a definition has snapshots, so the source can never be deleted through the API again, including after the clone itself is gone:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestDispatcherProbeCloneThenDeleteTheSource -count=1 -v
clone POST -> 201 {"location":"/v1/resource-definitions/pvc-snapreap-src/clone/pvc-snapreap-dst",...}
snapshot left on the SOURCE: "clone-pvc-snapreap-dst"
DELETE target "pvc-snapreap-dst" -> 200
snapshots on the SOURCE after the target is gone: 1
still there: "clone-pvc-snapreap-dst"
DELETE source -> 409
message: Cannot delete resource definition 'pvc-snapreap-src' because it has snapshots.
This is NOT a regression, and I checked that twice because my first control said otherwise. Replaying the CSI body at merge-base gives 400 on the undeclared layer_list, which makes the wedge look new; replaying the CLI-shaped body (no layer_list) at merge-base reproduces it exactly, 409 and all. So the defect is pre-existing and what this PR changes is who meets it.
That change is the whole point of the PR, which is why it belongs in this review rather than only in an issue. Before it, layer_list refused every CSI clone-from-volume at the decoder, so only a hand-driven rd clone reached this path. After it, every CSI clone does, and your own comment at rd_clone.go:104 notes that Cozystack's platform-wide cloneStrategyOverride: csi-clone routes every disk clone through here. A user who clones a PVC and later deletes the original gets a DeleteVolume that fails forever and a PV stuck Released, with no API-level way out.
I enumerated the reapers rather than asserting there are none: Snapshots().Delete appears in non-test code at pkg/rest/snapshots.go:784 and :1236, pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1260 (which sweeps the DELETED definition's own snapshots, not the source's), internal/cli/write_more.go:610 and internal/cli/snapshot.go:137; on the controller side pkg/satellite/controllers/snapshot.go:100 handles a delete rather than starting one, and internal/controller/autosnapshot_controller.go:457 selects on client.MatchingLabels{labelResourceDefinition, LabelAutoSnapshot: "true"} at :426-429, a label ensureCloneSnapshot never sets. All five operator-driven, none tied to clone completion or to the target's deletion.
Delta row 82 says the snapshot "must outlive the clone" and is visible in linstor s l, which is true and is not the same claim: once the target is deleted the dependency it names has expired, and the row does not say the source becomes undeletable. Reaping clone-<target> when the target goes, or on clone completion for the zfs send | recv case, would close it; documenting it in row 82 and filing the reap separately would at least stop it surprising the CSI path this PR opens.

p="pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go"; s=open(p).read()
old="progress, err := assessLeftover(ctx, s.Store, req.ToResource, vds, snap, len(canonicalRestoreNodeList(req)) > 0)"
open(p,"w").write(s.replace(old, "progress, err := assessLeftover(ctx, s.Store, req.ToResource, vds, snap, false)"))
EOF
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1

$ git checkout -- pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
It is not cosmetic. With the term gone, an explicit-node restore whose first attempt hydrated the volumes and died before placing anything takes the cloneFinished arm of assessLeftover, the replay writes 201 ... completed on retry, and materializeRestoredRD never runs, so a target with zero replicas is reported done. That is the silent-incomplete this PR removes on the clone half.
The two nearest tests cannot catch it. TestSnapshotRestoreReplayLeavesAnEmptiedNodeAlone deletes one of two replicas, so one still remains and both answers agree. TestSnapshotRestoreResumesAnIncompleteLeftover returns at len(vds) == 0 before assessLeftover is reached. The missing fixture is the state in between: a leftover carrying the marker and the snapshot's volumes, no Resource at all, restored with node_names set. Assert that the replay places replicas rather than answering 201.

[MAJOR] the test named for this line never reaches it, and the comment above names a case it cannot affect
The comment says the resolution stops "a leftover stamped [DRBD, STORAGE] by one client" refusing "a retry from another that omits layer_list". A retry that omits layer_list returns at len(layers) == 0 four lines above, so this line never runs on that path, and the test named for it passes without the line:
$ sed -i '' 's/\thave := resolvedLayerStack(existing.LayerStack)/\thave := existing.LayerStack/' pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/rest 72.981s

--- PASS: TestRDCloneResumesWhenTheLeftoverStackIsTheResolvedDefault (0.09s)
$ git checkout -- pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
That fixture seeds precisely the pair the comment describes (leftover stamped DefaultLayerStack(), retry with no layer_list), which is why removing the resolution changes nothing.
The case the line does decide is the mirror: a leftover that stores NO stack, which is what materializeRestoredRD copies off a source with an empty LayerStack, plus a retry that names one, which is every linstor-csi retry. Unresolved, that comparison reads as "adds DRBD, STORAGE" and 409s the resume. Swap the fixture's two halves, and fix the comment to describe the direction the code takes.

[MINOR] the marker rewrite is unpinned
Putting args.fromResource back in place of snap.ResourceName changes no test:
$ sed -i '' 's/def.Props\[restoreFromSnapshotProp\] = snap.ResourceName/def.Props[restoreFromSnapshotProp] = args.fromResource/' internal/cli/snapshot.go
$ go test ./internal/cli/ -count=1
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/internal/cli 0.775s
$ git checkout -- internal/cli/snapshot.go
The change is right, since placer.SourceProviderKind and constrainAutoplaceToSnapshotNodes both use the source half of the marker as a store key, but nothing holds it, so a later edit re-introduces the typed spelling silently. A CLI-level test that restores with --from-resource spelled in a different case than the stored RD, asserting the stored marker, would pin it.

[MINOR] the clone door creates definitions under names rd create refuses
handleRDClone checks only req.Name == "". validateLinstorName never runs on it, although the sibling restore door runs it on the same kind of name:
$ grep -n 'validateLinstorName' pkg/rest/*.go | grep -v _test.go
pkg/rest/input_validation.go:145:// validateLinstorName enforces upstream LINSTOR's identifier rules at
pkg/rest/input_validation.go:158:func validateLinstorName(kind, name string) error {
pkg/rest/nodes.go:480: nameErr := validateLinstorName("node", n.Name)
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:436: nameErr := validateLinstorName("resource definition", rd.Name)
pkg/rest/resource_groups.go:159: nameErr := validateLinstorName("resource group", rg.Name)
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:247: nameErr := validateLinstorName("resource definition", req.ToResource)
pkg/rest/snapshots.go:729: snapNameErr := validateLinstorName("snapshot", strings.TrimSpace(snap.Name))
pkg/rest/spawn.go:83: nameErr := validateLinstorName("resource definition", req.ResourceDefinitionName)
pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:683: poolNameErr := validateLinstorName("storage pool", body.StoragePoolName)
pkg/rest/storage_pool_definitions.go:109: nameErr := validateLinstorName("storage pool definition", body.StoragePoolName)
Nine call sites, and every door that creates a definition is there except this one. So a clone can create a definition under a name rd create answers 400 for, and tests/e2e/rd-name-validation-bulk.sh treats that ruleset as a contract. The reason this PR gives for validating resource_group, that it lands on the target on both paths and went past no validator, reads the same for name.
A second effect worth a line: cloneSnapshotName prefixes clone-, so a target near the identifier ceiling derives an internal snapshot name past it. I did not turn either into a data-plane break, so this is a contract hole rather than corruption.

[MINOR] the new L6 cell runs in no CI job
stand/ci-e2e.sh discovers scenarios through make e2e-list, which is ls tests/e2e/*.sh, and it returns zero cli-matrix entries. The lane matrix runs make ci-e2e LANE=... LANES=... with no SCENARIOS, and the only explicit list in the workflow is the piraeus-interop job's five non-cli-matrix scenarios.
$ make -s e2e-list | grep -c 'cli-matrix'

This is how every cli-matrix cell already sits, not something the PR introduced, but delta rows 86 and 87 cite this cell as their L6 pin and the six green E2E lanes did not run it. Either add it to a lane's scenario list, or say in the rows that the L6 leg is stand-only.

Fixed, and thanks for chasing the clone-snapshot one to the merge base before filing it.
The replica requirement and the stack resolution have fixtures that reach them now, one of them your swap. The clone door validates the target name and the snapshot name derived from it, like every other door that creates a definition, and the body decode answers in the envelope, which was the last refusal outside it. Rows 86 and 87 say the L6 cell is stand-only. The CLI marker rewrite I could not pin. The in-memory store the CLI suite runs on keys snapshots by the spelling they were written with, so a fixture where the stored and the typed spelling differ cannot be read back at all, and every fixture that can makes the two expressions equal. It is the same fold boundary you want as its own issue, and I left a comment saying so rather than a test that proves nothing. The marker being strippable through |

NOT LGTM
Fifty-six of the sixty-one items from the earlier rounds are closed, each confirmed by reverting the fix and watching a named test go red across thirty-six single-term reverts. The reap added this round is what blocks: it decides "this snapshot is mine to destroy" from a name an operator can also produce, and the marker it reads has two writers.
Reviewed at 0f876d4 against merge-base 709dd35.

Still open from my earlier rounds
Four survive. The DELETE-flag refusal on the restore door is closed in behaviour but held by nothing: every shipped fixture seeds a leftover with no volumes, so a deeper check produces the same 409 and the term itself is never the discriminator. The CLI marker rewrite is likewise unpinned, and pinnable. The finished-leftover rule (len(replicas) > 0 means finished) is a deliberate reversal, taken to fix two other items, and rests on an argument about what linstor-csi does after COMPLETE, which is a claim about the driver and not about this repo. And the claim that every behavioural change is pinned is still not true, by two terms.
Closed since the previous round
The clone-path replay was hoisted ahead of the source checks, the case-fold shim now folds Create so the two resume tests stop passing vacuously, the shape comparison reads only what the request named, the stale-snapshot arms each got an isolating fixture, and the L6 cell plus the L7 replay for the retry semantics both landed.
Two things the newest commits introduced
The shape block in cloneTargetState is now unreachable: the replay runs first on the same object and the same fields, and its three non-halting exits are each answered earlier. Deleting it leaves the suite green, so it is duplication rather than a coverage gap. And the name gate is applied before the path is chosen, which is the MINOR below.
What was and was not executed
go build, go vet and go test ./pkg/rest/ ./internal/cli/ are green at head. Not executed: the satellite data plane and the stand. The delta rows for the retry semantics note the cli-matrix cells are stand-only, so on this machine they rest on the Go tests.
Findings not anchored to changed lines
These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.
[MINOR] pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1203 a re-issued delete cannot re-run a reap that failed
The reap is best-effort and the already-absent branch returns before reaching it, so re-issuing rd d does not retry it and the source stays undeletable through the API until somebody drops the snapshot by hand. The pre-walk refusal's Correc is where that would belong.
[MAJOR] internal/cli/write.go:296 the CLI door takes the same snapshot and never reaps it, while the delta row says otherwise
internal/cli/definition.go:157 takes the same clone-<target> snapshot on the source, but resourceDefinitionDelete has no reap: it only refuses a source that still carries snapshots. So the sequence this round fixes reproduces unchanged through the CLI verbs of the same name:
OBSERVED: after `rd d dst-cli` the internal snapshot is clone-dst-cli (err=<nil>)
OBSERVED: `rd d src-cli` exit = 10, stderr =
"error: resource definition still has snapshots: src-cli has 1 snapshot(s); delete them first"
Meanwhile delta row 82 now asserts without qualification that rd d <clone> reaps it from the source, which is untrue of the CLI. Two passes of this review reached this independently. Lifting internalCloneSnapshotBehind and reapInternalCloneSnapshot into a helper both doors call would close it.

[MAJOR] the reap's ownership test is a name convention a restore can satisfy
internalCloneSnapshotBehind reads a definition's BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot and treats the snapshot it names as internal when it spells clone-<rd>:
source, snapName, found := strings.Cut(rd.Props[restoreFromSnapshotKey], ":")
if !found || !strings.EqualFold(snapName, cloneSnapshotName(rdName)) {That marker has two producers. materializeRestoredRD (snapshot_restore.go:762) writes it for the clone path and for POST /v1/resource-definitions/{rd}/snapshot-restore-resource/{snap}, where both halves come off a snapshot the caller named. Nothing else separates them: not the source half, not a flag, not a label. internal/cli/definition.go:157 is the same operation from the store's side, rd clone in the CLI being a snapshot create plus a restore through that door. So an operator's own snapshot, restored into a definition whose name it happens to prefix, becomes server-owned and is destroyed with that definition, with no line in the delete response and nothing to undo it. checkCloneSnapshotIsCurrent refuses to drop a snapshot of that name because it "may be the only copy of something, and deleting it is the operator's call"; this path makes it the handler's. The marker predates this change, so a binary swap applies the new reap to definitions an older one restored.
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeReapEatsAnOperatorSnapshotNamedLikeAClone -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: operator snapshot src-probe/clone-dst-probe after deleting dst-probe:

$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestProbeControlOperatorSnapshotSurvivesWhenTheNameDiffers -count=1 -v
CONTROL: operator snapshot src-ctl/backup-dst-ctl after deleting dst-ctl: <nil>
--- PASS
The probe seeds nothing by hand: the snapshot goes in through POST .../snapshots and the target through the restore endpoint, so both names are ordinary input. Reproduce by adding that pair to rd_clone_review8_test.go beside TestRDDeleteLeavesTheSnapshotARestoreCameFrom, which covers only the case where the names differ. Fix: stamp a prop of the clone path's own when it takes the snapshot, and reap on that, so ownership is something this server wrote rather than something a name implies.

[MINOR] the derived-snapshot name ceiling is applied to the path that takes no snapshot
cloneTargetNameIsUsable validates cloneSnapshotName(req.Name) in handleRDClone, before the VD-count branch decides which path runs. cloneEmptyRDShell takes no snapshot and writes no marker, yet a 43-to-48 character target is refused there because clone- plus the name passes the 48-char ceiling:
OBSERVED: volume-less clone into a 43-char target -> HTTP 400
CONTROL: rd create under the same name -> HTTP 201
Those names are legal for rd create and were legal for a shell clone before this commit. CSI is unaffected, since clone-pvc-<uuid> is 46. Moving the snapshot half of the check into cloneWithData keeps the fix and drops the overreach. Found independently by two passes.

[MINOR] the CLI marker rewrite is still unpinned, and it is pinnable
Reverting the marker to args.fromResource + ":" + args.fromSnapshot leaves go test ./internal/cli/ -count=1 green (ok 0.563s), so nothing holds the stored-spelling rule on this door.
The new comment says no test can hold it because the in-memory store keys snapshots by the spelling they were written with. The premise is right and the conclusion does not follow: the REST suite solves the same problem with a decorator (caseFoldingStore, snapshot_restore_idempotency_test.go:271), and internal/cli already injects decorated stores the same way (racingStore, concurrency_test.go:91, threaded through cli.App.StoreFor).
Recipe: wrap the backend in the same fold shim, restore with --from-snapshot SNAP-1 over a snapshot stored as snap-1, and assert the marker reads src:snap-1. That is the fixture the comment says does not exist.

[MINOR] the reap does not ask whether another definition still depends on the snapshot
The internal snapshot is deliberately visible in linstor s l, so the restore door accepts it as a source and a third definition can be restored from src@clone-<target>. That definition keeps the snapshot in its own marker for life: constrainAutoplaceToSnapshotNodes reads it and silently falls back to all nodes when the Get fails, and the satellite's restore looks the dataset up by name.
reapInternalCloneSnapshot checks no other definition's marker before deleting. Delete the clone, and the third definition loses its node constraint and can no longer materialise a new replica, which turns a later node failure from degraded into unrecoverable. Reasoned from the call sites rather than executed, so filed MINOR pending a probe.

Still open from my earlier rounds
assessLeftover still calls a clone finished on one replica, which I raised in round 8. You answered that topping up is placement reconciliation's job and that a replay cannot tell a short clone from a deliberate scale-down, and two tests now pin that. I am recording the disagreement as settled your way rather than filing it again.
The description still says every behavioural change is pinned by reverting it. Nine of my ten mutations redden the suite. The CLI orphan-naming branch does not, so the sentence is a shade stronger than the code, which is the first follow-up below rather than a blocker.
Caveats
- No CI lane runs the two new cells (
grep -rln 'operator-harness\|cli-matrix' .github/is empty), so the Go suite is the whole automated protection. - No CRD schema moved, so the binary swap and the rollback were reasoned, not exercised: no envtest assets are committed here.
Recommended follow-ups
- The CLI orphan-naming branch (
internal/cli/write.go:320) is unreached with a non-empty list: neutralising it leavesinternal/cligreen, while its REST twin is held. pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:126andstorage_pool_definitions.go:237still drop only<ns>/...and leave a bare<ns>key, so two of the six spellings disagree.applyClonePropEditsletsoverride_props/delete_propsrewriteBlockstorRestoreFromSnapshoton the definition it was just stamped on.

[MAJOR] the refusal names a snapshot the reaper deliberately kept, and tells the operator to delete it
ReapClonedSnapshot refuses to reap a snapshot another definition was restored from, and it is right to. OrphanedCloneSnapshots, which the refusal uses, never asks that question:
$ grep -n 'ErrCloneSnapshotInUse\|owner == ""' pkg/store/clone_snapshot.go
78:// ErrCloneSnapshotInUse reports an internal clone snapshot another definition
80:var ErrCloneSnapshotInUse = errors.New("internal clone snapshot is still a restore source")
110: return fmt.Errorf("%w: %s was restored from %s", ErrCloneSnapshotInUse, definitions[i].Name, marker)
131: if owner == "" {
$ grep -n 'OrphanedCloneSnapshots' pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go internal/cli/write.go
internal/cli/write.go:320: if orphans := store.OrphanedCloneSnapshots(ctx, run.Store, snaps); len(orphans) > 0 {
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1261: if orphans := store.OrphanedCloneSnapshots(r.Context(), s.Store, snaps); len(orphans) > 0 {
The reaper's scan is at 95-111; OrphanedCloneSnapshots at 126-141 asks only whether the owner definition still exists. Clone src into dst, restore clone-dst into third, delete dst: the reap correctly keeps the snapshot, its owner is now gone, and rd d src reports it as an orphan that "outlived the clone they were taken for" and corrects with "check linstor s l that nothing was restored from them, delete them".
Neither half of that instruction holds. s l does not show restore consumers, which live in the BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot marker and show in rd lp, so the check is not executable as written. And s d goes through handleSnapshotDelete, which has no in-use guard, so the delete succeeds and third loses the point-in-time its satellite routes every volume through (pkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go:922, pkg/placer/placer.go:1798).
The scan the refusal needs already exists one function above it.

[MINOR] a snapshot from before the owner prop is never named to the operator
OrphanedCloneSnapshots skips any snapshot whose owner prop is empty, and the prop is new here: git grep Blockstor/CloneSnapshotOf d2c6112d finds nothing in the merge-base tree. So a clone snapshot taken by an older binary is neither reaped nor named, and rd d <source> answers the bare "because it has snapshots" with no Cause and no Correc.
Row 82 concedes the reap side: "one taken by a version before the prop existed is left for the operator". That is a reasonable line to draw. What it promises is that the operator deals with it, and the code never tells them which snapshot or why, which is the one case where they have no way to find out from the product. They still have s d, so this is signposting rather than a dead end.

[MAJOR] the in-use guard before reaping a clone's internal snapshot reads the cached client
ReapClonedSnapshot decides whether <src>:clone-<target> is still somebody's restore source by scanning st.ResourceDefinitions().List(ctx). On the REST door that store is the manager's cached client (cmd/apiserver/main.go:142 into pkg/store/k8s/field_index.go:67), and the repo already says what that cache does:
$ grep -n 'ResourceDefinitions().List(ctx)' pkg/store/clone_snapshot.go
95: definitions, err := st.ResourceDefinitions().List(ctx)
$ grep -n 'load-balances to a replica whose cache' pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go
44: // that load-balances to a replica whose cache has not yet observed
$ grep -n 'ListByDefinitionUncached(r.Context()' pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go
1241: snaps, err := s.Store.Snapshots().ListByDefinitionUncached(r.Context(), name)
The third is the sibling gate in the same handler, uncached because "a snapshot that raced the delete and has not reached the informer is exactly the one this refusal exists for". RD Get has an uncached fallback for the same reason, and each apiserver replica caches independently.
Restoring from that snapshot is a path this PR supports and tests (TestRDDeleteKeepsTheCloneSnapshotAnotherDefinitionWasRestoredFrom). Delete the clone before the replica serving that delete has listed the restored definition and the scan finds no dependent, so the snapshot goes. The satellite reads that marker to route each volume through RestoreVolumeFromSnapshot (pkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go:922) and the placer pins pools to it (pkg/placer/placer.go:1798), so the definition is left half-materialised, point-in-time gone.
Nothing pins the guard at its own level either: reverting the ErrCloneSnapshotInUse branch leaves pkg/store green, and clone_snapshot_test.go models lag only the other way round (laggingDefinitionList APPENDS a ghost). The missing test: a decorator whose List omits a named definition, a second definition carrying src:clone-dst, assert ErrCloneSnapshotInUse and that the snapshot survives.
There is no uncached RD list to switch to, so either add one or do not reap when the question cannot be answered authoritatively. Keeping the snapshot is safe and legible: rdHasNoSnapshots names the orphan on the source's next delete.

[MINOR] a store read failure in the LUKS prerequisite is answered 400
refuseLUKSWithoutPassphrase wraps a read error when the encryption Secret or the controller props cannot be read (passphrase.Read returns ("", nil) only for NotFound; a 403 or a timeout comes back as an error), and the caller turns any non-nil result into StatusBadRequest with the create-passphrase correction. A transient failure therefore reads to linstor-csi as a permanent client error, on a body it resends unchanged. Branch on ErrLUKSRequiresPassphrase for the 400 and answer 500 otherwise.
It also sits ahead of replayOfFinishedClone, alongside cloneResourceGroupExists, which the handler's own comment says nothing cluster-stateful may precede. The resource-group arm is unreachable today only because refuseRGDeleteIfReferenced blocks deleting a group a clone still names.

Fixed. The reap asks the API server now. The definition store has a The refusal on the source no longer calls a kept snapshot an orphan. It sorts what it finds: safe to delete, kept because a named definition was restored from it (the correction says to delete that one first), and one that looks like a clone's but was taken before the owner prop existed, so it is named instead of silently refused. Both delete doors share the wording, and the CLI branch has a fixture now. The LUKS prerequisite answers 500 when the Secret or the controller props can't be read, and 400 only for a missing passphrase. I left it ahead of the replay: it only runs when the request names LUKS, and a LUKS clone on a cluster that lost its passphrase can't be opened anyway.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Reviewed at 13cfa708. All five findings from last round are closed, each pinned by a test that reddens under mutation: the unmark reads past the cache, the reap detaches before its first write, the mark expires, the name skip is gone and its ghost fixture with it, the refusal gives an in-use snapshot no command and the assertion forbidding that is back, and the partial-result sentence is dropped. Two of the caveats I raised are also answered, below.
What blocks is new. A retry now answers 201 over a definition whose only replica is already being torn down, where current main refuses and rolls back. The mark's five-minute lifetime assumes a reap that already deleted can no longer act, and a snapshot delete outlives its reap for as long as a satellite holds the finalizer. And the restore door writes the abandoned-rollback mark on its own failure path and never reads it back, so it resumes the leftover its twin refuses.

Guard stacking
Sixteen functions here are now on their third or later repair, assessLeftover and assessMarkedClone among them. The first and third findings are what that was pointing at: the leftover assessment has grown one classifier per round, and the two doors that share its states do not share its gates. The status endpoint already answers "every replica of the definition under that name is being torn down" on the input the POST path accepts, so the discriminator exists and the shape is one place to ask it from, not another guard.
Still open from my earlier rounds
Nothing. All five rows closed this round.
What this PR does to the merged #193
Three of #193's tests are renamed and inverted here, from the replay refusing a leftover to the retry making it whole, and the reasoning in merge193_test.go is sound: roll back only what the request created, never what it adopted. Two things the inversion left behind. The new bar, volumes plus one non-deleting replica, is the right bar, and no inverted test seeds no-volume together with a deleting replica, which is the first finding's input. And TestRDCloneRetryOverAReapedLeftoverAnswersOnlyAWholeClone guards its assertions behind if 201, so a refusal satisfies it too.
Claim mismatches
[PARTIAL] "All ten mutations for this round go red": the uncached snapshot read is the exception, for the reason in the fourth finding. Eight of ten reverts I ran go red.
Caveats
recovery-node-id-mismatchpassed on the rerun and all seven E2E checks are green. The caveat I left open last round is closed.TestGroupKWFPoolDestroyedDropsFromPlaceris the one red check. Your 56-iteration measurement settles what matters: two failures atd2c6112dis a revision without #193, so it predates it, and I retract my round-11 line that it does not appear on this branch, which was true of that head and is not of this one. On the rate your numbers say less than they look: 2 against 4 out of 56 neither shows a doubling nor excludes one. It wants its own issue against Bug 83, and you hold the only reproduction data anybody has.- No cluster: the satellite side of the terminating-replica and finalizer paths is reasoned from the store's own contract, not executed.

[MAJOR] a retry answers 201 over a clone whose only replica is terminating, where main rolls back
assessMarkedClone returns on an empty volume list before it ever looks at replicas:
$ sed -n '1291,1293p' pkg/rest/rd_clone.go
if len(targetVDs) == 0 {
return cloneUnfinished, nil
}
The cloneTearingDown branch that would catch this sits about sixty-five lines below, unreachable for a definition with no volumes. The resume then stamps replicas, and the skip added this round treats an existing one as already placed:
$ git show origin/main:pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go | grep -c 'ErrAlreadyExists'
0
A Create over an object carrying a DeletionTimestamp is exactly what returns AlreadyExists, and the store does expose the difference, one line away from being asked:
$ grep -n 'withDeletingFlag(crd.Spec.Flags' pkg/store/k8s/resources.go
602: Flags: withDeletingFlag(crd.Spec.Flags, crd.DeletionTimestamp != nil),
I ran it both ways. Resume over a volume-less leftover with a terminating replica, and a fresh clone under a name whose replica is still terminating:
POST clone = 201 "resource definition clone completed on retry: dst-na" ; replicas live=0 total=1
POST clone = 201 "resource definition cloned: dst-nb" ; replicas live=0 total=1
GET status = 404 "no finished clone 'dst-nb' of 'src-nb'",
cause "every replica of the definition under that name is being torn down"
The status endpoint answers correctly on the input the POST path accepts.
The same input on current main, in a worktree at 5c354a0:
POST clone on origin/main = 500 "clone of resource definition 'src-nb' failed:
resource \"dst-nb\" on node \"node-a\": object already exists;
the partial clone 'dst-nb' was rolled back", correction "retry the clone"
rd exists afterwards: false
So main refuses and rolls back and this head reports success over an empty shell. For linstor-csi the 404 on the status poll sends it back to POST and the loop resolves once the finalizer clears; an operator at linstor rd clone has no poll and is simply told "cloned".
assessMarkedClone should consult the replicas when there are no volumes, and stampRestoredResourcesOnNodes should re-read on AlreadyExists rather than assume a live stamp.

[MAJOR] the mark expires while the delete it guards is still in flight
The TTL is justified by "a mark older than this belongs to a reap that can no longer delete anything, since cloneSnapshotReapBudget is far shorter". That holds for a reap that died before deleting, and not for one that already issued the delete.
Snapshots().Delete is a plain s.c.Delete, so with the satellite finalizer present it only sets a DeletionTimestamp, and the satellite removes that finalizer only once the on-disk delete succeeds; an error requeues. Meanwhile the store hides the state for snapshots, where it exposes it for resources:
$ grep -c withDeletingFlag pkg/store/k8s/resources.go
3
$ grep -c withDeletingFlag pkg/store/k8s/snapshots.go
0
So Get and ListByDefinitionUncached serve a snapshot being torn down as a live one, and after a successful delete the reap does not take the mark off.
With the node holding clone-dst unreachable, the first five minutes refuse a restore from it correctly and the sixth allows one, onto a snapshot whose data is being destroyed; the restored definition's replicas then wait out their budget and concede to a blank volume.
The protocol is leaning on the mark's age where the question is the object's deletion state. Exposing that for snapshots the way resources.go already does would let both halves ask it directly, and the TTL could then be the backstop it was meant to be rather than the discriminator.

[MAJOR] the restore door resumes a leftover whose rollback gave up
Both doors write the abandoned-rollback mark through the same refusal:
$ grep -n 'failedMaterialiseRefusal(ctx' pkg/rest/rd_clone.go pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:506: s.failedMaterialiseRefusal(ctx, "clone of resource definition '"+src.Name+"' failed: "+err.Error(),
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:391: writeJSON(w, http.StatusInternalServerError, []apiv1.APICallRc{*s.failedMaterialiseRefusal(ctx,
One door reads it back:
$ grep -n 'rollbackAbandonedKey\]' pkg/rest/rd_clone.go pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1015: spelled := existing.Props[rollbackAbandonedKey]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:210: rd.Props[rollbackAbandonedKey] = step
restoreTargetState checks the marker and the DELETE flag and stops; restoreLeftoverIsFinished never looks. A leftover carrying the marker plus rollbackAbandonedKey: "replicas", retried on each endpoint:
restore resume over an abandoned-rollback leftover = 201
volumes hydrated onto the marked leftover = 1
clone resume over the same leftover (control) = 409
So the state merge193_test.go:64 calls "may hold less than the clone intended" is refused on one endpoint and resumed on its twin.
I filed the thin half of this on #193 as a note, where it was a note because the restore door had no resume path to protect. This PR gives it one, which is what turns it into a blocker here. Route restoreTargetState through the same gate and mirror TestRDCloneResumeRefusesALeftoverWhoseRollbackGaveUp on the restore side.

[MINOR] the cache fixture decorates a method this path never calls
The fix is in the code: setReapingMark reads through uncachedSnapshot, which lists past the cache. The test named after it cannot fail for that reason.
$ grep -n 'ListByDefinitionUncached(ctx, source)' pkg/store/clone_snapshot.go
215: snaps, err := st.Snapshots().ListByDefinitionUncached(ctx, source)
$ grep -n 'cacheWithoutTheMark) Get' pkg/store/clone_snapshot_round12_test.go
21:func (c cacheWithoutTheMark) Get(ctx context.Context, rdName, snapName string) (apiv1.Snapshot, error) {
The double strips the mark from Get; the path under test reads a list. So reverting line 215 to the cached ListByDefinition leaves ./pkg/store ./pkg/rest ./internal/cli green, while a mutation that happens to route the read through Get reddens it. The test detects one spelling of the mistake rather than the mistake.
Graded a note, not a blocker: the behaviour is right and the carried row closes on the code. What is missing is the test that would notice if it stopped being right, and RestoreSourceWithdrawn is the restore's only half of the reap protocol, so a cached read there loses a live mark. A double on ListByDefinition that strips the prop reddens under that revert and passes on head.

[MINOR] the !needReplica return skips the shape.extra term its comment claims
The comment above assessLeftover says a volume number the snapshot never recorded belongs to somebody else "on a target with no replica", which is the bare-restore case. That branch returns before the case shape.extra below it, so the term is dead for every restore without node_names:
assessLeftover(needReplica=false) = 1 (cloneFinished); needReplica=true = 2 (cloneForeign)
bare restore retry over that target = 201
Either check shape.extra before the early return, or narrow the comment to the paths where the term is reachable.

Fixed. Terminating replica. A volume-less leftover now checks its replicas before it is called unfinished, and refuses when every one of them is going away, before the resume writes anything. The stamp no longer takes AlreadyExists at face value. It re-reads the replica and fails on one carrying DELETE, so a fresh clone over a terminating replica is rolled back the way main does it. Both of your inputs are tests. Mark vs. delete in flight. You're right that age was answering the wrong question. The k8s store now surfaces DELETE on a snapshot with a DeletionTimestamp, the same Restore door. The abandoned-rollback gate is now one function, and The cache fixture now strips the mark from

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Reviewed at de28fb2e. All five findings from last round are closed, each by a behavioural control at both revisions rather than by reading the fix: the tear-down check flips 201 to 409 and to a rolled-back 500, the restore door now reads the abandoned-rollback mark, the snapshot store surfaces DELETE the way resources already did, and the cache fixture finally reddens under the revert it is named for.
One of those closed because you were right and I was not. shape.extra is unreachable for a bare restore by design, TestSnapshotRestoreReplayOfABareRestoreWithAnAddedVolume pins that, and hoisting the case above the early return reddens it and nothing else. The defect was in the comment describing the term, and narrowing the comment is the correct remedy.
What blocks is that this commit's own sentence, "on both doors", is not true yet, and two of its new paths answer with a shape the caller cannot act on.

Not a regression, but the comment claims a parity with resources that is not there.
Claim mismatches
[MISSING] "on both doors". tearingDownOr appears three times in rd_clone.go and not once in snapshot_restore.go, the restore twin still short-circuits a volume-less leftover before any judgement, and the shared gate runs in the opposite order there.
Caveats
Integration testsis red here onTestGroupFRToggleDiskful2DisklessReapsTieBreaker, the 2m30s class. The same job is red on main at this PR's merge-base on a different test, so it reads as environment-bound. The other thirteen checks are green, interop included, and lane 2 stayed green, so therecovery-node-id-mismatchquestion from two rounds ago is settled.- Thank you for filing #198. That one leaves my list.
- No cluster: the cache-lag results come from store decorators, not a real informer.

[MAJOR] the restore door still resumes over a leftover being torn down, by two entry points
The guard went on one door:
$ grep -c tearingDownOr pkg/rest/rd_clone.go
3
$ grep -c tearingDownOr pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go
0
Two ways in, and the fix is the same place for both.
The first is this line. restoreLeftoverIsFinished returns false, false on an empty volume list and goes straight to the resume, which hydrates before anything looks at replicas. Driven against the real endpoint over a leftover carrying the marker whose only replica is stamped DELETE:
bare restore resume over a volume-less leftover whose only replica is going = 201, volumes hydrated = 1
second bare restore over the same leftover = 409
restore resume (node-named) = 409 and volumes hydrated into the leftover: 1
With node_names the stamp step catches the DELETE and answers 409, but a volume has already been written into a definition its tear-down is reaping, which is the race rd_clone_review13_test.go:53 asserts does not happen on the clone side. Without node_names there is no stamp, nothing catches it, and the answer is 201: linstor-csi reads that as done and stops retrying. The same request repeated then answers 409, so two identical calls over one state give opposite answers.
The second is inside assessLeftover itself, so it is not confined to the restore door. The shape.smaller and shape.missing arms return before countReplicas runs, and shape.missing is documented as the multi-volume clone that died between two VolumeDefinitions().Create calls, which is the partial failure this resume path exists for. A leftover in that shape is called unfinished whatever its replicas are doing. A bare restore over one, missing a snapshot volume, with its only replica stamped DELETE, answered 201 with the missing volume hydrated into the tear-down. The clone door reaches the same arms; a fixture for it was refused earlier by the stale-snapshot check, so that door is unverified rather than clear.
So the comment this commit adds, that such a leftover "is refused on every path", is not true on either count.
Fix: call tearingDownOr(ctx, s.Store, req.ToResource, cloneUnfinished) on the zero-volume branch here and map cloneTearingDown to the 409 already below it, and move the replica read above the shape switch in assessLeftover so the sentence holds.

[MAJOR] the shared mark gate runs last on one door and first on the other
The helper exists so the doors agree. The clone door takes the tear-down refusal first and the mark second:
$ sed -n '1212p;1217p' pkg/rest/rd_clone.go
finished, halt := s.cloneLeftoverIsFinished(ctx, w, src, cloneName)
if !s.cloneLeftoverIsUsable(ctx, w, src.Name, &existing) {
The restore door calls abandonedRollbackRefusal here, inside restoreTargetState, and reaches restoreLeftoverIsFinished only afterwards, at :407.
For a leftover that is both tearing down and mark-carrying, one door answers wait until the replicas of X are gone and clone again, and the other answers delete X by hand: hand-deleting a definition whose replicas are already accepted for deletion and will clear on their own.
It also falsifies a comment this commit did not touch, rd_clone.go:985: "It comes last on purpose. Every earlier refusal is more precise about the same leftover (still being torn down, parented to a group that is gone), and this one only has to catch what they all let through." That reasoning now holds for one of the helper's two callers.
Moving the restore's call to after restoreLeftoverIsFinished restores both the ordering and the comment.

[MAJOR] the new read-back failure is unclassified, so informer lag fails a materialisation whose replica is fine
Re-reading the replica on AlreadyExists is the right move, and the read is the cached client: Resources().Get is a plain s.c.Get with no uncached fallback, unlike resource_definitions.go and volume_definitions.go, which both fall back to the direct reader on NotFound for exactly this reason. A satellite stripping the finalizer between the Create and the Get produces the same NotFound.
Three sites in this package classify that error; this is the only one that does not:
$ grep -rn 'errors.Is(getErr, store.ErrNotFound)' pkg/rest/
pkg/rest/autoplace.go:1882: } else if errors.Is(getErr, store.ErrNotFound) {
pkg/rest/autoplace.go:2768: if errors.Is(getErr, store.ErrNotFound) {
pkg/rest/effective_props.go:93: case errors.Is(getErr, store.ErrNotFound):
Through a decorator that leaves the replica present and live and masks only the read:
CLONE HTTP status = 500 ; RD was ROLLED BACK (ErrNotFound) ; replicas left: 0
RESTORE HTTP status = 500 ; RD was ROLLED BACK (ErrNotFound)
When the call created the definition, the error is wrapped as a materialisation failure and the rollback cascades a delete over the whole name. On a resume the leftover is adopted, so the error goes out raw and maps to 404, a terminal-shaped answer for a volume that is fine. At 13cfa708 this branch was a bare continue and the call answered 201.
Read through getResourceWithCacheRetry, and treat store.ErrNotFound as the replica being gone, which means retry the Create, rather than as a failed materialisation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[MAJOR] the live == 0 term has no fixture that can go red, and the isolating one guards its assertions behind a 201
Per-conjunct mutation of the new guard: dropping live == 0 and keeping total > 0 leaves go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 green. Dropping total > 0 instead kills five resume tests, so this is one unprotected term rather than a dead guard.
The isolating fixture is already in the suite. TestRDCloneRetryMakesWholeALeftoverWithReplicasButNoVolumes seeds a volume-less leftover with a live replica, which is exactly the input the term discriminates, and it cannot fail:
if resp.StatusCode == http.StatusCreated {
assertCloneWhole(t, st, "dst-novol")
}A 409 skips the body and the test passes. You fixed this same shape one file over in this very commit, at rg_deleted_race_round5_test.go, turning the conditional assert into a hard failure followed by an unconditional one; the twin was left alone.
What the unheld term protects is the ordinary resume: without it every volume-less retry that has a live replica is answered cloneTearingDown, whose correction is to wait until the replicas are gone, advice that never comes true for a replica nobody is deleting, so the CSI target name is stuck. Making the 201 mandatory there, as you just did next door, closes it.
The same term on the assessLeftover arm at :1366 is unheld for the same reason; that arm also precedes case !needReplica, so a bare-restore replay whose replicas are all going now answers 409 where it answered 201. It clears on its own and the provisioner retries, so that half is small, but scoping the arm to needReplica avoids it.

[MINOR] the new refusal reaches the wire with no FAIL_EXISTS band
This errors.Wrapf(store.ErrAlreadyExists, ...) leaves through writeStoreError with storeKindUnknown, and the sub-code for that kind is 0, so the 409 carries a bare error code. The difference against a refusal that does set it is exactly the FAIL_EXISTS_RSC_DFN value.
nodes.go:1452 records what that costs in the words of the fix that introduced the typed helper: every path wrote a bare error with no band, so golinstor.ApiCallError.Is(client.FAIL_EXISTS_RSC_DFN) returned false on real duplicates. Every other already-exists refusal on this door carries it.
Routing this one through writeStoreErrorTyped(w, err, storeKindResource) keeps it consistent.

[MINOR] ErrNotFound from the authoritative read is answered as a read failure, now on a second door
GetUncached is the authoritative read. When it answers store.ErrNotFound after the cached Get already found the definition, the cached read was the stale one: nothing stands under the name and the right answer is to proceed with the create. The helper folds that into the generic read-failure branch and returns 500, with a message saying the target exists but could not be read back.
The conflation is pre-existing on the clone door; this commit extends it to the restore door, which is the door this PR exists to make idempotent. One line in the shared helper covers both: return no refusal on errors.Is(err, store.ErrNotFound) ahead of the generic branch.

[MINOR] DELETE does not reach the snapshot State the comment points at
Surfacing the flag is the right fix for the restore gate and it is held by its own test. The comment above it says this is the same flag resources carry for the same state, and for resources the point of the flag is the State column. For snapshots the State resolves through a different mapping, which this repo documents itself, and DELETE falls through to the default.
isTerminalSnapshotFlag was not extended either, so a snapshot whose delete is in flight is still eligible for the SUCCESSFUL stamp and the wire carries both. blockstor's own table still renders Deleting because the flag is appended last and the renderer takes the first it recognises; a client following the documented mapping reads Successful for a snapshot being destroyed.
Not a regression, since it read Successful before the flag existed too. Either add the flag to isTerminalSnapshotFlag and keep the comment, or narrow the comment to say the flag is for the restore gate and for blockstor's own renderer. The constant's own doc says a satellite finalizer still holds it, where the producer is any pending deletion.

NOT LGTM. Two of the findings below reproduce on CSI's own call sequence, and one of them means #186 is still open. Reviewed at de28fb2e3d1df7484340aa3201fa45431cd08788.
IvanHunters' seven points from his review of this same head are all still open, since nothing has been pushed after it. I don't repeat them here. Below is what I found on top of them, most severe first. Every reproducer is a throwaway test against the real handlers on the in-memory store, the way the suite's own tests run.
Blocker
1. #186 is not fixed: linstor-csi's own restore flow is refused on its first call, on main and on this head
Where: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:571.
The PR explains #186 as a restore that created the definition, failed partway, and then saw every retry refused. linstor-csi never asks blockstor to create that definition, though. Cozystack ships linstor-csi v1.11.2. Its VolFromSnap (pkg/client/linstor.go:1256-1281) runs in this order:
reconcileResourceDefinitioncreates the RD itself withPOST /v1/resource-definitions(:1593-1607).snapshot-restore-volume-definitionrestores the volumes, only when the RD has none (:1449-1454).snapshot-restore-resourceruns with{"to_resource": ..., "nodes": [one node]}(:1513).
The RD from step 1 never carries BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot, so restoreTargetState takes it for somebody else's definition. Driving those three calls in that order against the real endpoints:
rd create (CSI reconcileResourceDefinition) = 201
VD restore = 200
resource restore #0 = 409 "resource definition 'pvc-csi' already exists and is not a restore of 'snap-csi'"
resource restore #1 = 409 (same)
replicas=0 marker=""
On 5c354a0b the same sequence answers 409 resource definition "pvc-csi": object already exists. That is word for word the error quoted in #186. So nothing failed partway. Every CSI restore-from-snapshot is refused on the first call, which also explains why the reporter could not find the step that failed first. The resume path keys on a marker that the CSI flow never writes, so it cannot help that flow. The cozystack patch 001-relocate-after-clone-restore.diff does not change step 1. No e2e lane drives a real VolumeSnapshot restore through linstor-csi, which is why CI is green.
Fix shape: accept snapshot-restore-resource into an existing definition when that definition has no replicas and its volumes are exactly the snapshot's. That is the state steps 1 and 2 leave, and the sequence the LINSTOR user guide documents for s resource restore. Stamp the marker at that point. Keep refusing a definition that already has replicas, because that one may hold data. Add a test that drives the three calls above. Until that lands, Fixes #186 and the "Snapshot restore was not idempotent" section describe a mechanism the reported failure did not go through.
Major
2. A concurrent retry answers 201, and then the first attempt's rollback deletes what it answered for, on both doors
Where: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1030, pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:468.
createOrAdoptRestoredRD adopts a definition when a second request races the first one. The comment on materialisedRD says the earlier attempt "may still be running". The adopter is protected from reaping the creator's work. The creator is not stopped from reaping the adopter's: rollBackMaterialisedRD runs CascadeDeleteResources over everything under the name, and nothing records that someone else answered for it. I used a decorator that holds the first attempt's first replica Create until the second request has returned, and then fails it:
clone: second (concurrent retry) = 201; first = 500; after both: rd "dst-cc" not found, replicas=0
restore: second (concurrent retry) = 201; first = 500; after both: rd "dst-cr" not found, replicas=0
The caller holds a 201 for a volume that no longer exists. On the restore door this is new: main answers that retry with 409. The trigger is ordinary. Every apiserver replica handles requests, and the first attempt only has to hit any store error after the second one has finished.
Fix shape: the adopter leaves a mark the creator can see past the cache, written through the API server before it hydrates anything. The creator's rollback re-reads that mark uncached and, if it is there, leaves the definition in place and answers without rolling back. Pin it with the decorator above.
3. golinstor cannot decode any clone refusal, so the cause and correction never reach linstor-csi
Where: pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1744.
golinstor's do() (client/client.go:665-683, v0.61.0) decodes every non-2xx body other than a 404 as []ApiCallRc, and maps every 404 to the bare NotFoundError. writeCloneRefused answers with the CloneStarted object. Driving refusals through lapi.ResourceDefinitions.Clone:
collision 409 -> isApiCallError=false err=json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type client.ApiCallError
layer change 400 -> isApiCallError=false err=json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type client.ApiCallError
unknown rg 404 -> isApiCallError=false err=404 Not Found
external 501 -> isApiCallError=false err=json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type client.ApiCallError
The object envelope already existed on main, but this PR adds about twenty refusals to this door and builds the operator's way out on their text. The comment at rd_clone.go:1887 says a foreign leftover is refused "with a cause and a correction that reach the PVC's events". For linstor-csi they don't. A PVC stuck on a stale clone-<target> snapshot shows a JSON decode error, and the correction ("delete the snapshot ... so the clone retakes it") never reaches anyone. python-linstor needs the object and golinstor needs the array, so one envelope cannot serve both clients. Pick the shape per client, or drop the claims that the correction reaches CSI.
Minor
4. The clone door's resource-group pre-check is not pinned on the data path
Where: pkg/rest/rd_clone_idempotency_test.go:189. Mutation: if !found changed to if false && !found in cloneResourceGroupExists. The whole pkg/rest suite stays green, apart from the server did not stop within 2s flake. Without the pre-check, the data path snapshots the source as clone-dst-rg, materialises the target, and lets the post-write guard roll it back to the same 404. The test checks only the status and that the RD is absent, so it passes, and the internal snapshot stays on the source. The PR body lists "the unknown resource group on both clone paths" among the reverts that go red. On the data path this one does not. Asserting that the source has no clone-dst-rg snapshot after the refusal closes the gap.
5. Review-iteration vocabulary lands in main
The repo squash-merges with COMMIT_MESSAGES, so every commit body becomes part of the merge commit. 9825f5ca ("moved off the request's spelling last round"), abef3491 ("added last round") and af9d9e61 ("the previous round fixed") carry review-cycle wording. The tree carries it too. Main already has rg_deleted_race_roundN_test.go files, and this PR adds eleven more of the same kind (rd_clone_review2_test.go through rd_clone_review13_test.go, clone_snapshot_round12_test.go), round-numbered fixture names like dst-na13, and parity row 86 citing those file names. Naming the files by what they cover keeps the tree readable without access to this thread. Also, 0334dfc8, af9d9e61 and de28fb2e lack the Assisted-by: LLM trailer that the other thirty-six commits carry.
6. Some claims do not match the code or the client
- The
rd_clone_golinstor_shape_test.go:44fixture says it is "Exactly what golinstor marshals for linstor-csi's clone call", but it sendsuse_zfs_cloneand omitsdelete_props. linstor-csi v1.11.2 (linstor.go:413-418) sendsname,layer_list,resource_groupanddelete_props: ["Aux/csi-provisioning-completed-by"], and never sendsuse_zfs_clone. - The PR body calls
delete_namespaces"the one after that" 400. golinstor tags itomitemptyand linstor-csi never fills it, so no CSI clone ever carried it. - The title of parity row 86 still reads "a
--layer-listthat changes LUKS membership", while24500c33refuses any change to the layer set.
Scope
The diff is +8317/-504 for two fixes. About 5.5k lines are tests, and most of those sit in the eleven new per-round files. Several pieces are neither #185 nor #186 and could be reviewed on their own:
- The internal-snapshot reap (
f2ff7315,f4fa74e3,95dea761,0e45136f,387725d1, and most of the snapshot side ofde28fb2e):pkg/store/clone_snapshot.go, therd dchanges in REST and the CLI, and about 700 lines of tests. It givesrd dof a clone a new write that deletes a snapshot on a different definition, the source, with its own marking protocol and TTL. Three of IvanHunters' findings in the last two rounds are about this protocol: the mark's TTL, the cache fixture, and the snapshot DELETE state. delete_namespacesforrg modifyandrd modify(resource_groups.go:642,resource_definitions.go). That changes behaviour on two endpoints the clone does not use.- Identifier and snapshot-name ceiling validation on the clone door (
0a7e0e0b). - The
writeStoreErrorTypedanddecodeJSONrefactors, and the test-harness work (13cfa708,5ef17d7c,d5868d67,57800305).
Moving the reap and the harness work into their own PRs would leave this one at the two fixes it is titled for.

NOT LGTM. The finished judgement counts replicas that hold no data, a resume from a retaken snapshot keeps a stale volume record that later breaks a healthy clone, one new refusal branch survives mutation, and two texts describe the adopt/rollback handshake wrong.
The #186 first-call refusal from my previous review is fixed here by the prepared-target path; the blockers below are new findings at this head. Reviewed at a4f876d0af512678707a474c3467e8adacaca8cb.
Business context: two CSI-facing defects. Clone-from-volume answered 400 to golinstor's always-sent layer_list (#185), and snapshot restore refused linstor-csi's first call: CSI creates the definition itself, so it carries no restore marker and was taken for a foreign one, leaving CreateVolume permanently non-idempotent (#186).
Blockers
B1: a diskless or tie-breaker replica counts as holding data, so a restore can report finished with zero data copies
File: pkg/store/leftover.go:182-193
The liveness count treats every non-deleting resource as data-bearing, DISKLESS and TIE_BREAKER included. With all volumes present and live > 0, AssessLeftover reports finished: the replay answers 201, the poll answers COMPLETE, and ReadsAsFinished lets that leftover survive rollback. A diskless replica holds no data, so the code contradicts the contract its own comment states. stampRestoredReplica (pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1681-1720) has the second half: an existing DISKLESS resource on a requested node counts as already placed, so an explicit-node restore returns 201 without placing anything. On main that Create failed, so this half is a regression.
Getting there needs an operator-added diskless resource or a tie-breaker left after the diskful ones are gone; linstor-csi never makes that state. Once there, CSI reports success for a volume with no copy of the data, and if the snapshot is gone the data is lost.
Fix: count "not deleting" and "not deleting and not DISKLESS/TIE_BREAKER" separately. An existing diskless on the node should be refused or promoted (PromoteWitnessFlags), not accepted as placed.
Evidence: both flags sit in the same Resource.Flags the count already reads (pkg/api/v1/node.go:183,185). Reproduced during review: an explicit-node restore answered 201 leaving only the pre-existing diskless resource.
B2: a resume from a retaken snapshot keeps the stale volume record, and a healthy clone later fails as unfinished
File: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1414-1419
The adopt branch persists only the adoption mark, and the recomputed newRD.Props with the retaken snapshot's volume record is thrown away. First attempt records {0,1}, the retaken snapshot has {0}, the stored record stays {0,1} forever. After the internal snapshot is deleted, recordedSnapshotShape reads {0,1}, volume 1 is missing, and the finished clone is judged unfinished: the poll answers 404, and a retry answers 409 telling the operator to delete a working clone. The record is written on create (:1336) and never on adopt (:1380-1437), and cloneSnapshotIsCurrent only guards a reused snapshot (rd_clone.go:571), so nothing refuses the retake. Once #200 lands and reaps clone snapshots, this trigger stops being exotic.
Fix: patch RestoreVolumesProp with the actual snapshot's volumes in ClaimAdoptedLeftover, or in the adopt branch. Test: empty leftover with record {0,1}, retake with {0}, delete the snapshot, poll must answer COMPLETE.
Evidence: traced the resume path at a4f876d; the claim patch touches only RestoreAdoptedProp (pkg/store/restore_target.go:459-465), and the post-cleanup judgement goes through assessMarkedClone into recordedSnapshotShape.
B3: the DELETE-flag refusal in PreparedRestoreTarget has no test and survives mutation
File: pkg/store/restore_target.go:138
Removing the DELETE-flag check at that line leaves the whole suite green. Every DELETE-flag test nearby uses a marked leftover or a replica flag, never an unmarked prepared target. The PR body says the mutation sweep leaves no new error return uncovered; this branch is uncovered. The extra-volume case has no test either: sameVolumes refuses it twice (:219 length, :230 lookup), so no single-line mutation escapes, but the contract should pin it.
Fix: add two cases to TestSnapshotRestoreRefusesATargetNotPreparedFromTheSnapshot (DELETE flag, extra volume number), each expecting 409 and no marker stamped.
Evidence: branch-by-test matrix over every refusal in PreparedRestoreTarget; all covered except these two.
B4: the handshake can end with both sides yielding, and two texts say it cannot
File: pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:216-218
The adopting side writes its mark before checking the rollback mark, and the mark stays on refusal (pkg/store/restore_target.go:459-479). Creator writes in-progress, adopter writes adopted, adopter sees the rollback and refuses, creator sees the adoption and yields. Both reads are uncached, so both writes can land before both reads. Nothing is deleted and the next retry resumes the leftover, so this is about the texts, not data safety. The comment at pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1436-1438 says the next retry "starts clean once the rollback is done", and errRollbackYielded says the definition "was left to that retry" (same wording in the Message at :448-455). No rollback runs, and that retry refused. The Cause in rollbackFailureAdvice already hedges with "may" and is right.
Fix: reword the three strings. Removing the mark on refusal is safe but only narrows the window, so wording is enough.
Evidence: TestAnAdoptionRefusesALeftoverWhoseCreatorIsRollingBack covers the refusal but not the leftover mark; the write-write-read-read order walks both read paths and nothing forbids it.
B5: new comments narrate the change's history, and one misstates what its read does
File: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:396-400
One comment misstates its own code: the uncached read in adoptPreparedRestoreTarget is described as "stating the contract rather than closing a gap", but for a stale cache hit (name deleted and recreated, or patched after first observation) the read does close a gap, because Get falls back only on a cache miss (pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:71-87). Four more spots tell the story of the change instead of the rule: :676 ("Resuming on the marker alone ran\u2026"), :1094 ("The alternative this replaced\u2026", and the "four lines above" reference at :1116-1121 dies on the next edit), the first sentence at :124 ("\u2026fetched and thrown away" reads only next to the diff), and the restoreTargetState doc, which halves once the incident narration turns into conditionals. The rollbackRestore doc got cited in the same batch and is clean: present tense, real invariants.
Fix: reword in place, state the invariant.
Evidence: per-site read at a4f876d.
Non-blocking follow-ups
- internal/cli/snapshot.go:461-466 drops the
adoptedresult and places unconditionally. A second run that lost the stamp race skips JudgeRestoreLeftover, so two runs with different --nodes place the union where REST judges first. On !adopted, run JudgeRestoreLeftover \u2192 finishRestoreLeftover. The comment at :458 ("this restore's own earlier run") is wrong for a concurrent run. - The fix-it hints at internal/cli/snapshot.go:793 and :827 print
blockstor resource create <node> <rd>without --storage-pool. resolveStorPool then takes a sibling's pool, wrong when pools differ per node, and a restore replica on another backend never converges. Build the hint fromplanned, one command per missing node with its pool. - Server-owned props are still writable through resource-group props. buildSpawnedRD copies rg.Props into the spawned RD unfiltered (pkg/rest/spawn.go:241-243). rg create/modify accept server-owned props without a guard (pkg/rest/resource_groups.go:641), so a StorageClass can inject BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot or the adoption/rollback marks into every PVC of its class. No privilege gain (the caller is full-rights anyway), but the "internal props are refused" guarantee does not hold through spawn. Filter through TravellingProps in buildSpawnedRD and add ServerOwnedPropEdit to rg create/modify. Spawn also silently drops override_props/delete_props/delete_namespaces (pkg/api/v1/resource_group.go:111-113), the accept-and-drop pattern this PR removes elsewhere.
- writeCloneRefused (pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:2008) and writeRestoreTargetUnreadable (pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:378) put raw store error text into the message unscrubbed. Main has the same pattern, so one scrubImplDetails call in each writer just aligns with the Bug 162 convention.
- The commit says every leftover decision reads from the API server; three still read cached: the group name in restoreReplayState/writeFinishedRestoreReplay, the DELETE check in handleSnapshotRestoreVolumeDefinition, the snapshot in assessMarkedClone (pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1670). Fix the wording or the reads.
- A POST replay of a finished clone answers 201 without the adoption mark (pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1531); with the RG deleted, a cached read can answer 201 while the creator's rollback removes the definition. Row 87 documents this window for the poll, not for POST.
- Undocumented behavior change: on the fresh path the CLI no longer rolls back the definition after a partial placement. One line in the PR body or row 87.
- HoldRollback drops the mark-removal error silently.
- docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md row 87 is a ~15k-character table cell; split it.
- The PR body says the clone validates layer_list/resource_group "the way rg modify validates them", the commit says "the way rd create does". One of them is wrong, and the rd create server-owned-props refusal is mentioned nowhere.
- The wrappers at pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1615-1695 exist only for nolint:wrapcheck; calling store.* directly drops about 25 lines.
Security note: a separate three-pass security review found no vulnerability introduced here. LUKS passphrases are refused before any store read and never stored, echoed, or logged; the layer-set guard plus the single LayerStack stamp make an encryption-mismatch clone impossible; the prepared-target gates and the rollback handshake fail closed. Two pre-existing items live outside this review: #201 (unauthenticated plain-HTTP listener on :3370) and a stale comment at pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:2047-2049 claiming src_snap_name is accepted-and-no-op, which contradicts the Bug 239 docstring (predates this PR).

DISKLESS and TIE_BREAKER live in the same Flags slice this loop reads, so a leftover with all volumes but only a diskless or tie-breaker resource counts as finished: the replay answers 201, the poll COMPLETE, and ReadsAsFinished lets it survive rollback. Finished needs a separate count that excludes both flags; tearingDown can keep this one.

An existing DISKLESS resource on the requested node passes this re-read and counts as placed, so an explicit-node restore answers 201 without any diskful replica. On main this Create returned an error, so this is a regression. The existing resource needs a diskful check here, with a refuse or a PromoteWitnessFlags upgrade.

The adopt branch persists only the adoption mark; the recomputed volume record in newRD.Props never reaches the stored definition. If the snapshot was retaken with a different volume set, the stale record stays, and once the internal snapshot is deleted the finished clone is judged unfinished (poll 404, retry 409 telling the operator to delete a working clone). Patch RestoreVolumesProp from the actual snapshot here or inside ClaimAdoptedLeftover.

This branch has no test: removing the DELETE check leaves the whole suite green (every DELETE-flag test nearby uses a marked leftover or a replica flag). The PR body says the mutation sweep leaves no new error return uncovered, so this one needs a case: unmarked DELETE-flagged target, expect 409 and no marker. The extra-volume case in sameVolumes deserves one too.

This is false in the both-yield interleaving: creator writes in-progress, adopter writes adopted, adopter sees the rollback and refuses with its mark left in place (pkg/store/restore_target.go:459-479), creator sees the adoption and yields. No rollback ran and that retry refused. Reword with "may", the way rollbackFailureAdvice's Cause already does. Same for the Message at :448-455 and the comment at snapshot_restore.go:1436-1438.

This understates the read: Get falls back only on a cache miss (pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:71-87), so for a stale hit (name deleted and recreated, or patched after first observation) the uncached read does close a gap. State the rule instead: reads that decide on the marker go past the cache.

NOT LGTM. One new blocker in the delta: the AlreadyExists tolerance added to the CLI volume-definition restore breaks the create-order invariant that kept concurrent restores safe on main, and the losing run's unwind can delete volumes a successful run is using. All five round-1 blockers are verified fixed at 4ab3ffd, each with its pinning test.
Blocker
B6: the AlreadyExists tolerance in s vd restore lets a losing run delete volumes a successful concurrent run is using
File: internal/cli/snapshot.go:905-933
Main was safe here because both runs create the snapshot's volumes in the same order: exactly one creates volume 0, the other fails at volume 0 with an empty added list, and its unwind deletes nothing. The new tolerance at :914 (accept a same-size AlreadyExists, continue without recording the volume in added) breaks that invariant. A creates volume 0; B accepts it, creates volumes 1 and 2, exits 0; A hits a transient error on a later volume and unwinds [0]. The target that answered success loses volume 0. If the losing call is slow, the winner may already have placed replicas when the unwind lands, and the volume definition goes away under live resources. REST hydration has the same tolerance but no unwind, so it cannot cause the loss, but a REST success can race a CLI unwind: the REST door answers 200 and the CLI run removes the volume. The marker machinery never runs on this path, so nothing serializes the two runs.
The comment at :915-921 protects the tolerated volume ("it is not this call's, so it is not unwound") but misses the other direction: the volumes this call did add can already be in use by the concurrent winner.
Fix: revert to main's behavior, drop the tolerance. Same-order creation then guarantees the loser fails with an empty added list, the unwind is a no-op, and the loser's error is honest ("volume N already exists"). TestSnapshotVolumeDefinitionRestoreKeepsAVolumeAConcurrentRestoreWrote changes its same-size case from success to a non-zero exit; the volume-untouched assertion stays. Keeping the tolerance and skipping tolerated volumes in the unwind does not close it, because A fails before it ever sees B's volume. If the tolerance must stay to match REST, the alternative is to drop the unwind entirely the way REST does and widen the pre-check to accept same-size volumes; that is the bigger change.
Evidence: both interleavings traced at 4ab3ffd; unwindVolumes (:945-953) deletes added unconditionally, with no re-read, marker, or handshake.
Verified fixed from round 1
- B1: finished now counts only diskful replicas (HoldsData excludes DISKLESS and TIE_BREAKER; tearing-down keeps the wider count). An operator's diskless replica on a requested node is refused without the FAIL_EXISTS band on both doors, and tie-breaker promotion reuses the autoplace path with a re-check of the result. Pinned in leftover_gates_test.go and the store tests.
- B2: the adoption patch carries RestoreVolumesProp from the actual snapshot, atomically with the mark (pkg/store/restore_target.go:465-475), on all three doors. TestRDCloneResumeRecordsTheVolumesOfTheSnapshotItTook is the retake scenario.
- B3: both cases added, and removing the DELETE check reddens the new test.
- B4: all three texts now describe the both-yield interleaving correctly.
- B5: all five sites reworded, and the adoptPreparedRestoreTarget comment now matches what the read does.
Non-blocking notes on the delta
- promoteDisklessReplica's closure re-checks wasDiskless but not TIE_BREAKER: a millisecond TOCTOU where an operator's diskless swapped in for the witness gets promoted. The CLI version closes this.
- Two concurrent promotions of the same witness give the loser an unbanded 409 "already diskful" although the replica is fine. A spurious refusal, not a false success; the retry passes.
- failedMaterialiseRefusal still carries raw store error text in its message from rd_clone.go:829 and snapshot_restore.go:563; every other clone/restore refusal got the scrub. One scrubImplDetails inside failedMaterialiseRefusal covers both.
- Two added comments still narrate the incident: snapshot_restore.go:334-340 and the PreparedRestoreTarget doc. And the reworded comment at :396 says a stale read answers "the marker and the volumes" wrong, but the volumes come from LiveVolumes, not from that read.
- The Cause at rg_deleted_race.go:656 and ErrAdoptedLeftoverRollingBack's text still say "adopted" about a run that refused.
- The clone door normalizes layer_list to canonical case, while rg create/modify and rd create still store the caller's spelling, and at least one reader compares exactly (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:812). Pre-existing on those doors; worth the same normalize there or a comment saying it is deliberate.
- The new e2e cell uses a bare trap instead of register_strict_cleanup; AGENTS.md:136 asks for the strict one on new scenarios, and without it a dirty cluster is blamed on the previous scenario by the lane runner instead of failing this cell.
- B2's record rewrite is pinned only on the REST clone door; the CLI and prepared-target doors share the code path but have no regression test of their own.
CI note: the Integration tests failure is the known pre-existing flake. TestGroupG/SnapCreateListDelete times out at 2m30s with the identical signature on main's run 37283857326, so this head did not cause it.

The tolerance protects the volume it accepts ("not this call's, not unwound") but not the ones this call did add: A creates volume 0, B tolerates it and finishes, A fails later and unwinds [0] under B's success. Main was safe because same-order creation failed the loser at volume 0 with an empty added list. Dropping the tolerance restores that; see the review body.

NOT LGTM. Two more from a deeper pass over the machinery and the new test artifacts: a bare restore's replay can be answered 201 and then have the placed attempt's rollback delete the definition under it, and the new L7 replay accepts an "already exists" refusal as a passing replay, so the retry semantics it exists to pin can break silently. The round-1 and round-2 fixes all still check out at 5b23086.
Blockers
B7: a bare restore's replay answers 201, then the placed attempt's rollback deletes the definition
File: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:699
needReplica comes from each request's own shape, and the marker does not record whether the operation placed replicas. A runs a placed restore (nodes=[n1]): volumes hydrated, placement fails, scope rollbackUnlessPlaced. While A is placing, B runs a bare restore of the same snapshot into the same name: judged finished with needReplica=false, answered 201 (:699), and a replay writes nothing, so no adoption mark. A's rollback then reads ReadsAsFinished with needReplica=true, sees no replica, and deletes the definition (rg_deleted_race.go:196). B holds a 201 for a definition that is gone. The window is A's whole placement, not a millisecond race. linstor-csi cannot hit this (VolFromSnap always places one node), but a bare restore over the plain REST API or python-linstor races a placed one exactly this way.
Fix: have the replay stamp the adoption mark before answering 201, so the creator's rollback reads the mark and yields. The cheaper-looking alternative, sparing anything any door reads as finished, flips your own pinned case (placed-without-a-replica in adopted_leftover_rollback_test.go:290 would stop being deleted), so the mark is the right door.
Evidence: interleaving traced at 5b23086 through restoreTargetState → restoreLeftoverIsFinished → writeFinishedRestoreReplay and rollBackCompensating → ReadsAsFinished(true); the pinned test at adopted_leftover_rollback_test.go:290 documents the delete side as deliberate.
B8: the new L7 replay accepts an "already exists" refusal as a passing replay
File: tests/operator-harness/replay/rd-clone-retry-semantics.yaml
run_step defaults to tolerate_resend_409 (tests/operator-harness/lib.sh:987-997): any non-zero exit passes if stderr matches "already exists". The foreign-target refusal reads "clone target '...' already exists and is not a clone of '...'" (pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1136), which matches. So if the replay path breaks the way this PR is written to prevent (say the marker is lost and every retry answers 409), both replay steps still PASS. The project rules make this YAML the artifact that closes the bug, and as written it cannot fail on the semantics it pins.
Fix: tolerate_resend_409: false on replay-the-finished-clone and replay-after-the-source-grew. A re-sent replay must answer 201 anyway, so the tolerance buys nothing.
Evidence: the default in lib.sh:987-997; the refusal text matches the tolerated pattern; the unit level pins this, the L7 level does not.
Non-blocking notes
- A retry resurrects a volume an operator deleted from a finished clone or restore (AssessLeftover reports unfinished on missing before checking Holding) and re-places a replica onto the node the operator emptied, the outcome the commit message says a finished leftover is spared from. A bare restore interrupted mid-hydration and placed by hand has the same shape, so the refuse probably wants the needReplica condition; at minimum a deltas-doc row.
- The clone door reads the marker from the cache in replay and poll (rd_clone.go:1544, 2139); the uncached re-read in abandonedRollbackRefusal checks DELETE and the rollback mark but not the marker. Delete-and-recreate the name as a foreign definition with the same volume layout inside the cache lag and the replay applies prop edits to it and answers 201. One-line fix: verify the marker (or the UID) in that uncached read.
- The cached-group window is documented for the poll in row 87 but not for the POST replay, which reads the group the same way.
- E2E cell: step [C]'s delete_namespaces has no positive control (a clone of the same source without delete_namespaces must carry the key, or a green run proves nothing when props stop travelling), and the size assert reads only .[0], so a replay that adds a volume passes; assert the full set.
- The cell's cleanup dropped assert_no_orphans when it moved to register_strict_cleanup; the kernel-slot/.res/LV checks that STRICT_ORPHANS gated are gone for this cell.
- Test pins worth tightening: the volume-conflict refusal test should assert == 409 and the absent band, not != 200 (golinstor's ApiCallError.Is scans every rc, so restoreAnswer should too); the witness-promote-failure test accepts any non-201; the errReplicaHoldsNoData mark is decorative, removing it keeps every test green, so either pin it or drop it.
- Pre-existing, for the harness PR: the replay runner's all_uptodate counts a replica with an empty status.volumes as converged, so a replay can start before the clone converged. And the lane-5 failure mechanism is concrete now: snapshot-restore-cross-node's stage-1 loop breaks on the first UpToDate read and re-checks exactly once, so any transient state fails it; wait_disk_state with a stability requirement is the fix. Both outside this diff.
- Still deferred per the author: the promote TOCTOU, the duplicate-promotion 409, canonical case on the non-clone doors; the spawn-props issue from round 1 is still unfiled.
CI: Integration tests is the known pre-existing flake (identical signature on main). E2E lane 5 is the scenario's own fragile wait (note 7), unrelated to this delta.

A bare restore is judged finished here with needReplica=false and answered 201, but a replay writes nothing, so the placed attempt's rollback (ReadsAsFinished with needReplica=true) deletes the definition afterwards. Stamp the adoption mark before answering; see the review body.

run_step defaults to tolerate_resend_409, and the foreign-target refusal matches "already exists", so this step passes even when every retry is refused. Set tolerate_resend_409: false here and on replay-after-the-source-grew.

NOT LGTM. The B7 fix itself is correct and verified: the replay takes the adoption mark before its 201 on both doors, a mark-write failure answers a retryable 500 without a band, and the creator-rolling-back refusal carries FAIL_EXISTS_RSC_DFN (501), not the 502 linstor-csi reads as success — golinstor compares bands by exact equality, and the same band on the older gate is already pinned. Two consistency items remain, both the same classes this review blocked on before.
Blockers
B9: the new replay-refusal branch has no test, and its band survives mutation
File: pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:700-702
The creator-rolling-back 409 is unreached by the suite (a pre-set in-progress mark is caught by the older gate), and deleting the refusal.RetCode |= apiCallRcFailExistsRscDfn line keeps everything green. The band is the load-bearing part of this refusal: 502 here is what linstor-csi reads as "a concurrent restore already made it". Same standard as B3: add the case where the creator's rollback begins between the gate and the claim, assert 409, band 501, not 502. The 500 mark-write-failure branch deserves a case too.
Evidence: mutation traced at 597e7c8; rollback_handshake_failclosed_test.go:640 pins the older gate's band, not this one.
B10: two comments and row 87 now describe the pre-B7 replay
File: pkg/store/restore_target.go:503-507
ErrRollbackAnswered's comment here and errRollbackAnswered's at rg_deleted_race.go:256-259 both still say a replay answers a finished leftover "without adopting it, since that answer writes nothing". False as of this delta: the replay writes the mark. Row 87 says the same about the POST replay ("answered complete ... without adopting it"); the poll half of that sentence stays true.
Evidence: the new mark write is at snapshot_restore.go:699 via finishedLeftoverRefusal and at rd_clone.go:1607.
Non-blocking
- restoreAnswer now folds every rc's band with OR. golinstor's ApiCallError.Is compares each rc by exact equality, and the OR can invent a band no rc carried: 501|502 folds to 503, which reads as FAIL_EXISTS_VLM_DFN. Run Is per rc instead. Today's tests are rescued by the duplicate mask check, but the helper misleads the next one.
- Deferred items now have homes: #202 (spawn props), #203 (operator-deleted volume resurrected by a retry), #204 (canonical case on the non-clone doors). Still open per the author: the promote TOCTOU, the duplicate-promotion 409, and the two harness items (all_uptodate counting an empty status.volumes as converged; the lane-5 scenario's break-on-first-read wait).
CI: static checks green at this head; Integration and the E2E lanes are still running.

This band is the load-bearing part of the refusal and nothing pins it: deleting the line keeps the suite green. Add the case (creator's rollback begins between the gate and the claim), assert 409 with 501, not 502.

False as of this delta: the replay now writes the adoption mark before its 201. Same for errRollbackAnswered at rg_deleted_race.go:256-259 and the POST-replay half of row 87.
… resume their retries Clone rejected every request golinstor sends. The endpoint decoded with DisallowUnknownFields and declared five fields, so layer_list, which linstor-csi never omits, was a 400 before the handler ran, and every CSI clone-from-volume failed. The body now embeds golinstor's own props-modify triple, honours layer_list and resource_group on both clone paths, validates the stack the way rg modify does and checks the group exists, stores the stack in canonical case, and refuses external_name and volume_passphrases rather than accept and drop them. A requested stack that changes the layer set of a source with volumes is refused: every layer's bring-up writes to the device the clone just restored into. Restore refused linstor-csi on its first call. VolFromSnap creates the definition itself, restores its volumes, and only then asks for the resource restore, so the definition carries no restore marker and was taken for somebody else's. A definition without the marker is now taken when it is in exactly that state: its volumes the snapshot's, no replica, and the source's layer stack, since a layer the source did not have would write across the restored bytes. The marker is stamped only after every check that can still refuse it has passed, so a refusal leaves the caller's definition as it was. One with a live replica stays refused, since it may hold data. Both doors are idempotent the way CreateVolume has to be. A repeat over this operation's own leftover resumes it instead of answering AlreadyExists for good, and the leftover is judged in one place for both: replicas first, so one being torn down is refused before anything is written, then the parent group, then the mark a rollback leaves when it gives up. A finished clone or restore is judged by its volumes and, where the operation placed replicas, by holding one with a disk, so its replay answers success whatever happened to the source since. A diskless or tie-breaker replica holds no copy of the data: it never makes a leftover finished, and an operator's diskless replica already on a requested node is refused rather than counted as placed. The controller's tie-breaker witness there is promoted to the replica the restore asked for, as autoplace promotes one. A retry naming a different shape, or a leftover internal snapshot that fell behind the source, is refused rather than resumed. The marker is compared the way LINSTOR folds names. A retry that adopts a leftover marks it through the API server before writing anything, and the attempt that created it reads the mark before rolling back, so it never deletes what a retry already answered 201 for. A replay of a finished leftover takes the same mark before its 201, though it writes nothing else: a bare restore's replay can call finished what a placed restore of the same snapshot, still placing, is about to roll back. The handshake fails closed: a rollback that cannot write its own mark, or cannot read the adoption back, deletes nothing, and takes its in-progress mark back off, since a mark left on a definition nothing was taken from would refuse every retry while the answer said to retry. A mark that cannot be taken back is refused over with a correction that names the manual way out, and over a deleted group the correction starts with the group. A replica a stamp collided with is read from the API server, not the cache, which right after a delete began still serves it live. The prepared-target decision reads the definition, its volumes and its replicas from the API server too: linstor-csi's volume restore and the resource restore after it can land on different replicas of the server, and a cache behind the first refused a valid target or took one holding a live replica. The marker is stamped through the API server, so the reads in the same request that decide on it go there too; a cache that had not seen its own request's patch refused linstor-csi's first restore as somebody else's definition. Once the marker is on it stays: linstor-csi re-issues CreateVolume on a timeout, the retry finds the marker and places the replica, and the request that wrote the marker meets that replica as one already placed. Taking the marker back off there would leave a definition CSI was told is restored without one. The CLI door settles which nodes and pools the replicas go to before it writes the definition or the marker, so a request refused for its own shape leaves a prepared definition unmarked; a placement that fails after the marker is finished by running the same command again. It judges its own leftover with the assessment and gate order the REST door uses, so a finished restore is left alone rather than re-placed on a node the operator emptied, and a leftover whose rollback gave up is refused on both doors. A clone resume whose internal snapshot is gone is refused once the leftover holds a volume with a replica: retaking the snapshot would finish it from a later moment of the source than the one it was restored from. The leftover judgement counts replicas and reads volumes from the API server: a lagging informer still showing a replica being deleted as live called a restore finished over a definition that is going away. The CLI judges a definition already under the name before it plans anything from the source, so a finished restore is left alone once the source can no longer be planned from; it refuses a prepared definition whose group is gone before the marker goes on, and takes the adoption mark before it finishes a leftover, as the REST door does. A run that finds the marker already stamped on a target it judged prepared lost it to a concurrent run, and judges and finishes that run's definition as a leftover instead of placing over it with its own nodes. Refusals reach each client in the shape it decodes: python-linstor, which names itself in its User-Agent, keeps the CloneStarted object it decodes whatever the status, and every other caller, linstor-csi and any other golinstor client among them, gets the []ApiCallRc array. The CLI's rollback of a definition it created holds the same handshake as the REST one before it deletes anything: a definition another request adopted, and may already have answered for, is left to it, and one whose rollback mark could not be written or whose adoption could not be read is not deleted. Prop edits on a clone that would rewrite or remove a prop blockstor sets on the clone itself, the restore marker among them, are refused before anything is written: applied after the marker, they left the satellite to bring the volumes up blank. This also covers part of the known gap where a restored definition can lose its snapshot through override_props. A rollback still in progress is worded as one that may still finish on both doors, not as one that gave up. The marker is now written with a record of the volumes the snapshot held. The snapshot is what a retry judges a leftover against, and it does not always outlive the leftover; judged without it, a clone that had restored only some of its volumes read as complete. Once the snapshot is gone the record stands in for it. A resume rewrites the record from the snapshot it finishes from, which a clone may have retaken since the first attempt. rd create, rd modify and the CLI's rd property verbs refuse the props blockstor writes on a definition, as the clone door does: a delete of the Blockstor namespace mid-restore took the adoption mark with it. A CLI rollback that holds the handshake and then cannot delete takes its in-progress mark back off, so the next run finishes the definition instead of meeting a rollback nobody is running, and a CLI re-run over a finished restore says so. s vd restore stays strict on both doors, as on main: a volume already on the target is a refusal, so the losing run of two stops on the first volume with nothing of its own to unwind. Both doors also refuse a definition carrying a restore marker, which a restore or clone is filling and whose rollback would take what the volume restore answered for.

The unit tests run the handlers against the in-memory store. The cli-matrix cell drives the same retries against a live stand: a clone replayed after the source was resized, leftover shapes, and the delete_namespaces field over raw REST, since `rd clone` has no flag for it and it only rides on golinstor's props-modify envelope. The replay workflow records the CLI's view of the same sequence. The workflow waits on state through the runner's awaits rather than a CLI list: for about two seconds after a create the python client indexes a replica's DRBD layer before the payload is filled and dies with KeyError, which is not this workflow's subject.

LGTM. All eight blockers across the rounds are verified fixed at 3e5eede, and the witness change from your own pass is sound.
This round's verification: in the new tests the creator's rollback mark lands between the gate and the claim, so the replay refusal is really exercised — deleting the band line reddens the restore test, the clone side pins the 409, and an unwriteable mark is pinned as a 500. The three comments and row 87 now match the code, including the group-deleted rollback yielding to a POST replay's mark. The promoted witness counts as placed only for the rollback's by-name delete; that rollback still runs only over a definition the request itself created, and the witness is per-definition, so no other definition's quorum is touched.
Non-blocking residue
- The clone replay's new test asserts the 409 only, while the restore side asserts the bands. The clone refusal carries no band line at all, so there is nothing to pin beyond the status — a one-line comment saying so would stop the next reader from "fixing" the asymmetry.
- ErrRollbackAnswered's error string still says "a retry or a status poll may have answered"; CLI-facing only.
- The promoted-witness delete is pinned at the return-value level; there is no end-to-end test of the rollback removing it by name.
- Local golangci-lint 2.14.0 fires exhaustruct_v5 on the new tests (the config disables exhaustruct, not the v5 name). CI's pinned version is green, but the next lint version bump will surface it.
- Deferred, with homes: #202 (spawn props), #203 (operator-deleted volume resurrected by a retry), #204 (canonical case on the non-clone doors), plus the promote TOCTOU and the duplicate-promotion 409 you kept. For the harness PR: all_uptodate counting an empty status.volumes as converged, and the lane-5 scenario's break-on-first-read wait.
CI: static checks green at this head; Integration and the E2E lanes are still running. If a lane comes back red with the snapshot-restore-cross-node signature, that is the scenario's own wait (note 5), not this head.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Every blocker from my last round is closed, and the fixes are real rather than cosmetic: the tear-down judgement moved into one shared store.AssessLeftover whose first statement is CountReplicas, so no arm can answer "resume" without having consulted the replicas. Run at both revisions, the two previously blind entry points resumed and wrote into a tear-down at the old head and refuse before writing at this one. The ledger at the end records all seven.
What blocks this round is one shape, six times: a guard, a handshake step or a gate that reaches some of its doors and not the rest. Two are on the CLI, three are in the new rollback handshake, and the first one below is reachable from an ordinary StorageClass.
Findings
[MAJOR] pkg/rest/spawn.go:243, the server-owned prop guard misses the create door linstor-csi uses
handleRDCreate refuses a definition born with one of the four server-owned props, and the guard's own comment states the harm: "a create carrying them would make a definition born restoring from somebody else's snapshot". rg spawn is the other create door, and registerSpawn calls it "the call linstor-csi makes on every CreateVolume". It copies the group's prop bag unfiltered, and group props are guarded nowhere:
$ sed -n '243p' pkg/rest/spawn.go
maps.Copy(rd.Props, rg.Props)
$ grep -c 'ServerOwnedPropEdit' pkg/rest/resource_groups.go
0
$ grep -rn 'ServerOwnedPropEdit(' --include='*.go' pkg/rest | grep -v '_test.go'
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:248: if key := store.ServerOwnedPropEdit(req.OverrideProps, req.DeleteProps, req.DeleteNamespaces); key != "" {
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:460: if key := store.ServerOwnedPropEdit(rd.Props, nil, nil); key != "" {The precondition is not an operator poking a server-owned key by hand. linstor-csi passes StorageClass parameters through to resource-group props verbatim, by design. In v1.10.1, pkg/volume/parameter.go:164-166 strips the property.linstor.csi.linbit.com/ prefix and stores the remainder as the key, and ToResourceGroupModify at pkg/volume/parameter.go:380-384 copies every one of those keys into the group's OverrideProps. So a StorageClass carrying
parameters:
property.linstor.csi.linbit.com/BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot: "victim:snap"puts that key on the group, and from then on every CreateVolume for that class spawns a definition already marked. pkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go:922 reads the key straight off rd.Spec.Props and materialises each volume through RestoreVolumeFromSnapshot instead of CreateVolume, so the new volume comes up holding another resource's data. BlockstorRollbackAbandoned on the same group instead makes every spawned definition refuse every later clone or restore resume as "a rollback gave up".
There is no way back for a definition that already has it: ServerOwnedPropEditByOperator carves out only RollbackAbandonedProp, so the mark cannot be cleared as delete_props, as an empty override_props or as delete_namespaces.
The fix is the laundering every other prop copy in the package already does, and store.TravellingProps exists to strip exactly these four keys:
maps.Copy(rd.Props, store.TravellingProps(rg.Props))I ran it: the spawned definition's props come back empty, go build ./... is clean and go test ./pkg/rest/ ./pkg/store/... stays green. No existing test changed colour either way, so nothing currently pins this door's behaviour. Guarding rg create and rg modify for the same four keys would close the group side as well.
[MAJOR] pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:170, a NotFound acquire falls through to a by-name cascade with no identity check
Tolerating ErrNotFound on the mark write is right on its own terms, since there is no definition to mark. What is missing is anything that re-establishes identity before the delete:
$ sed -n '169,171p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
err := s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackInProgress)
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, store.ErrNotFound) {
// A write that failed at its deadline may still have landed; nothingNeither of the two checks that could catch it does. AdoptedElsewhere answers "adopted by nobody" for a definition that is gone, by design:
$ sed -n '559,562p' pkg/store/restore_target.go
current, err := st.ResourceDefinitions().GetUncached(ctx, rdName)
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
return false, nil
}and ReadsAsFinished, which would see a fresh definition as finished and stand the rollback down, is skipped whenever scope == rollbackEvenIfFinished, which is what all three of these doors pass:
$ grep -rn 'rollbackEvenIfFinished)' --include='*.go' pkg/rest | grep -v '_test.go'
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:931: rollbackErr := s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, cloneName, made.Placed, rollbackEvenIfFinished)
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1217: err = s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, cloneName, nil, rollbackEvenIfFinished)
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1226: rollbackErr := s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, newRDName, made.Placed, rollbackEvenIfFinished)The window is not instantaneous: between the absent read and the definition delete the cascade runs the snapshot refusal, the per-replica deletes, CascadeDeleteResources and waitForReplicasAcceptedForDeletion, all inside the detached budget. A retry that recreates the same deterministic name inside it comes in as a creator, so it writes no adoption mark and is invisible to the handshake; the cascade then deletes its definition and its replicas and returns nil, and the door reports a successful rollback. The design note above this function says "The handshake with an adopting retry fails closed", which holds on every path except this one.
store.HoldRollback carries the same tolerance, so the CLI restore door shares it. Either return without cascading when the acquire found nothing, or re-read and re-verify the marker before deleting by name; a UID precondition on the delete closes it generally.
[MAJOR] pkg/store/restore_target.go:489, the adoption mark has no release on its own read-back failure
This is the one acquire in the new handshake with no exit that releases. The creating half is careful about it, clearing the in-progress mark on the mark-write failure, the adoption-read failure and the finished-read failure alike, each time so a retry is not refused over a definition that was left alone. The adopting half clears nothing:
$ sed -n '487,493p' pkg/store/restore_target.go
current, err := st.ResourceDefinitions().GetUncached(ctx, rdName)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("read %q back after adopting it: %w", rdName, err)
}
if current.Props[RollbackAbandonedProp] != "" {
return fmt.Errorf("%q cannot be adopted: %w", rdName, ErrAdoptedLeftoverRollingBack)On that return the adoption is refused, nobody was answered for the definition, and Blockstor/RestoreAdopted stays on it. AdoptedElsewhere then reports it as adopted for the rest of its life, so the creator's rollback yields from then on, and on an RG-deleted door the leftover stays parented to a group that is gone with nothing left to remove it. The same leak follows a patch that lands at its deadline and still returns an error.
Two things make this worse than the rollback-mark case. pkg/store/local_props.go:56 asserts of this prop that "Kept, it says only that a retry answered for the definition, which stays true", and on this path nobody was answered. And the operator has no carve-out for it, so the only exit is deleting the definition. A best-effort patch removing the prop before returning matches what the roller-back already does.
[MAJOR] pkg/store/local_props.go:198, in-progress is treated as a mark over a definition left whole
The operator is permitted to clear the mark for in-progress:
$ sed -n '197,200p' pkg/store/local_props.go
switch before[RollbackAbandonedProp] {
case "", RollbackInProgress, RollbackStepSnapshots, RollbackStepReadSnapshots:
return nil
}and ErrRollbackStepMarkKept states the premise: "A mark over a definition left whole (in progress, or a rollback that stopped at its snapshots) is the operator's to clear."
The premise does not hold, for the reason this change's own design note gives. in-progress is written before anything is touched, and the step-name upgrade that would replace it runs on the same context the cascade just exhausted, with its error discarded:
$ sed -n '209,212p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
err = s.rollBackMaterialisedRD(ctx, rdName, placed)
if err != nil {
_ = s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackStepName(err))
}The note at rg_deleted_race.go:152 names the case exactly: "the budget running out mid-cascade leaves no context to write it on, and a killed process runs nothing at all". So the definition that carries in-progress is precisely the half-torn one: some replicas reaped, some not. And abandonedRollbackRefusal actively points the operator at the clear, telling them to run set-property BlockstorRollbackAbandoned with no value to keep the definition as it stands. They do, the refusal lifts, and the next retry resumes over partly reaped replicas. ErrRollbackStepMarkKept catches reap-replicas, reread-replicas and delete-definition, but never the value those paths actually leave behind.
The suite cannot tell the two meanings apart either. Narrowing the post-adoption re-read at pkg/store/restore_target.go:492 from != "" to == RollbackInProgress leaves pkg/store, pkg/store/k8s, pkg/rest and internal/cli all green, so the only value any test feeds that read is the in-progress one. Upgrading the mark to a step name before the first destructive call, rather than after a failure, would make the carve-out mean what it says.
[MAJOR] internal/cli/snapshot.go:862, the CLI volume-definition restore has no DELETE-flag gate
The REST twin gained one this round, at pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:126, with the comment "as on the sibling handlers: hydrating volumes into it races the tear-down reaping what it writes". The CLI is the sibling handler it is not on. It reads the target past the cache and consults the marker, and never looks at the flags:
$ grep -n 'target.Props\|target.Flags' internal/cli/snapshot.go
862: if marker := target.Props[store.RestoreFromSnapshotProp]; marker != "" {So with a delete stamped on the target and the reaper still working, blockstor snapshot volume-definition restore writes every snapshot volume into the dying definition, the reaper removes them, and the command exits 0 with nothing on the screen. s resource restore refuses the same state through store.PreparedRestoreTarget, so this is one door short rather than a policy choice. One branch beside the marker check closes it, on a value already in hand, and a case that seeds a DELETE-flagged target and asserts a non-zero exit plus zero volumes written is red today.
[MAJOR] internal/cli/snapshot.go:583, the CLI finished-leftover replay takes no adoption mark
store.ClaimAdoptedLeftover states its own contract: both doors take the mark before they write anything onto a leftover, and a replay of a finished one takes it with a nil snapshot, recording nothing, because the mark is what tells a creator still rolling back that somebody was answered for the definition. Both REST replays honour it through finishedLeftoverRefusal. The CLI returns before reaching it, twice:
$ grep -n 'sayAlreadyRestored(run\|ClaimAdoptedLeftover' internal/cli/snapshot.go
583: return true, sayAlreadyRestored(run, existing.Name, args.fromResource, args.fromSnapshot)
610: return sayAlreadyRestored(run, rdName, snap.ResourceName, snap.Name)
618: err = store.ClaimAdoptedLeftover(ctx, run.Store, rdName, snap)The mark is load-bearing here because rollBackCompensating skips the finished check entirely under rollbackEvenIfFinished, which all three RG-deleted doors pass. In that scope the adoption mark is the only thing between the definition and the cascade. So a re-run of blockstor snapshot resource restore while a creator's compensation is in flight prints "already restored", exits 0, and the rollback then deletes the definition the CLI just vouched for.
[MINOR] pkg/rest/controller_props.go:324, delete_namespaces is honoured on four doors of seven
The new helper is wired into resource-definition modify, resource-group modify, volume-definition modify and the two clone paths:
$ grep -rn 'deletePropNamespaces(' --include='*.go' pkg/rest | grep -v '_test.go'
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1985: deletePropNamespaces(rd.Props, req.DeleteNamespaces)
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:2121: deletePropNamespaces(clone.Props, req.DeleteNamespaces)
pkg/rest/volume_definitions.go:1002: deletePropNamespaces(existing.Props, patch.DeleteNamespaces)

[MINOR] pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:602, the stated reason for leaving the 409 unbanded is not a behaviour linstor-csi has
I asked for this band in an earlier round and I am withdrawing that, because the driver reads nothing there. The rationale added with it says linstor-csi reads FAIL_EXISTS_RSC on a resource restore as "a concurrent restore already made it" and reports the volume restored. In linstor-csi v1.10.1 the only FailExists code read anywhere in the driver is FailExistsRscDfn, at pkg/client/linstor.go:2591, and it sits in the resource-group delete path, where it means a group still has definitions. On the restore path, VolFromSnap calls RestoreSnapshot at pkg/client/linstor.go:1517 and answers fmt.Errorf("could not restore resources: %w", err), inspecting no return code at all. So the band is invisible to the driver either way: the decision to leave it off is harmless, my recommendation to add it bought nothing, and the sentence explaining it should go, including the copy of it shipped in docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md row 87.
[MINOR] pkg/store/local_props.go:65, two places still describe the clone-snapshot reap as present
The reap moved to #200, which the description says plainly. Two pieces of prose did not move with it: the RestoreVolumesProp comment here, which motivates the record with "an operator can delete it, and a clone's internal one is reaped", and the same parenthetical in docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.md row 87. On this branch nothing reaps it, and rd_clone.go:1076 says the opposite, that it must outlive the clone. The record is still worth having for the operator-delete case; only the second half of the reason is premature.
Closed since my last round
Each was checked against both revisions, so the credit is for a behaviour change and not for a reading.
- The restore door resuming over a leftover being torn down, by two entry points. The judgement moved into
store.AssessLeftover, whereCountReplicasruns first and the tear-down verdict is folded into every early return. At the old head both entry points resumed and hydrated a volume into the tear-down; here both refuse up front and write nothing. - The
live == 0term with no fixture that could go red. The term now lives once, and dropping it reddens eight named tests across two packages. The fixture that guarded its assertions behind a 201 now fails hard on anything else. - The shared mark gate running last on one door and first on the other.
restoreReplayStatenow runs it last, in the clone door's order, and every caller ofabandonedRollbackRefusalreaches it after the tear-down and group refusals. - The unclassified read-back failure. The loop reads through
getResourceUncachedand treatsErrNotFoundas the replica having gone between the create and the read, retrying the create; only a repeating collision is reported. At the old head one masked read produced a 500 plus a rollback that deleted a pre-existing live replica. ErrNotFoundfrom the authoritative read answered as a read failure.abandonedRollbackRefusalnow opens with the not-found case and proceeds, on both doors.- DELETE not reaching the snapshot State the comment pointed at. The wire flag and its only consumer are gone, so nothing asserts a parity the State mapping does not give.
Caveats
computeCloneStatusanswers COMPLETE on either read failure, where the marked branch added this round answers 500 for the same failure.- The new
rd-clone-retry-semantics.shcell and its replay yaml are named by no runner, Makefile target, CI lane or glob. - The group read that triggers every rollback is the one cache-served read in this machinery, and
ResourceGroupStorehas no uncached accessor. blockstor rd modify --layer-listsets the stack with no look at the restore marker, which is the invariantcloneLayerStackIsHonourableandErrRestoreTargetLayersexist to hold. Pre-existing and CLI-only; I did not run it.

[MAJOR] a NotFound acquire falls through to a by-name cascade with no identity check
Tolerating ErrNotFound here is right on its own terms, since there is no definition to mark. What is missing is anything that re-establishes identity before the delete: no UID is captured, no precondition is set, the marker is not re-checked.
$ sed -n '169,171p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
err := s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackInProgress)
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, store.ErrNotFound) {
// A write that failed at its deadline may still have landed; nothingNeither later check catches it. AdoptedElsewhere answers "adopted by nobody" for a definition that is gone, by design:
$ sed -n '559,562p' pkg/store/restore_target.go
current, err := st.ResourceDefinitions().GetUncached(ctx, rdName)
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
return false, nil
}and ReadsAsFinished, which would see a fresh definition as finished and stand the rollback down, is skipped whenever scope == rollbackEvenIfFinished, which is what all three of these doors pass:
$ grep -rn 'rollbackEvenIfFinished)' --include='*.go' pkg/rest | grep -v '_test.go'
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:931: rollbackErr := s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, cloneName, made.Placed, rollbackEvenIfFinished)
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:1217: err = s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, cloneName, nil, rollbackEvenIfFinished)
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:1226: rollbackErr := s.rollBackCompensating(ctx, newRDName, made.Placed, rollbackEvenIfFinished)The window spans the snapshot refusal, the per-replica deletes, CascadeDeleteResources and waitForReplicasAcceptedForDeletion, all inside the detached budget. A retry recreating the same deterministic name inside it arrives as a creator, writes no adoption mark and is invisible to the handshake; the cascade then deletes its definition and its replicas and returns nil, and the door reports a successful rollback. The design note above this function says "The handshake with an adopting retry fails closed", which holds on every path but this one.
store.HoldRollback carries the same tolerance, so the CLI restore door shares it. Either return without cascading when the acquire found nothing, or re-read and re-verify the marker before deleting by name; a UID precondition on the delete closes it generally. A test that recreates the name between the acquire and the cascade and asserts the fresh definition survives is red today.

[MAJOR] the adoption mark has no release on its own read-back failure
This is the one acquire in the new handshake with no exit that releases. The creating half clears its in-progress mark on the mark-write failure, the adoption-read failure and the finished-read failure alike, each time so a retry is not refused over a definition that was left alone. The adopting half clears nothing:
$ sed -n '487,493p' pkg/store/restore_target.go
current, err := st.ResourceDefinitions().GetUncached(ctx, rdName)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("read %q back after adopting it: %w", rdName, err)
}
if current.Props[RollbackAbandonedProp] != "" {
return fmt.Errorf("%q cannot be adopted: %w", rdName, ErrAdoptedLeftoverRollingBack)On that return the adoption is refused, nobody was answered for the definition, and Blockstor/RestoreAdopted stays on it. AdoptedElsewhere then reports it adopted for the rest of its life, so the creator's rollback yields from then on, and on an RG-deleted door the leftover stays parented to a group that is gone with nothing left to remove it. The same leak follows a patch that lands at its deadline and still returns an error.
Two things make it worse than the rollback-mark case. pkg/store/local_props.go:56 asserts of this prop that "Kept, it says only that a retry answered for the definition, which stays true", and on this path nobody was answered. And the operator has no carve-out for it under any spelling, so the only exit is deleting the definition.
Fix: release on the failure path the way the roller-back does, with a best-effort patch removing the prop before returning. Test: a fault-injected read-back failure asserting the prop is absent afterwards.

[MAJOR] in-progress is treated as a mark over a definition left whole
The operator is permitted to clear the mark for in-progress:
$ sed -n '197,200p' pkg/store/local_props.go
switch before[RollbackAbandonedProp] {
case "", RollbackInProgress, RollbackStepSnapshots, RollbackStepReadSnapshots:
return nil
}and ErrRollbackStepMarkKept states the premise: "A mark over a definition left whole (in progress, or a rollback that stopped at its snapshots) is the operator's to clear."
The premise does not hold, for the reason this change's own note gives. in-progress is written before anything is touched, and the step-name upgrade that would replace it runs on the context the cascade just exhausted, with its error discarded:
$ sed -n '209,212p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
err = s.rollBackMaterialisedRD(ctx, rdName, placed)
if err != nil {
_ = s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackStepName(err))
}rg_deleted_race.go:152 names the case: "the budget running out mid-cascade leaves no context to write it on, and a killed process runs nothing at all". So the definition carrying in-progress is precisely the half-torn one. abandonedRollbackRefusal then points the operator at the clear, telling them to run set-property BlockstorRollbackAbandoned with no value to keep the definition as it stands; they do, the refusal lifts, and the next retry resumes over partly reaped replicas. ErrRollbackStepMarkKept catches reap-replicas, reread-replicas and delete-definition, never the value those paths actually leave behind.
The suite cannot separate the two meanings. Narrowing the post-adoption re-read at pkg/store/restore_target.go:492 from != "" to == RollbackInProgress leaves pkg/store, pkg/store/k8s, pkg/rest and internal/cli all green, so the in-progress value is the only one any test feeds that read.
Fix: upgrade the mark to a step name before the first destructive call rather than after a failure, and make the carve-out depend on that. Test: a cascade cut short mid-way, asserting the clear is refused.

[MAJOR] the CLI volume-definition restore has no DELETE-flag gate
The REST twin gained one this round, at pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:126, with the comment "as on the sibling handlers: hydrating volumes into it races the tear-down reaping what it writes". This is the sibling handler it is not on. The target is read past the cache and the marker is consulted; the flags never are:
$ grep -n 'target.Props\|target.Flags' internal/cli/snapshot.go
862: if marker := target.Props[store.RestoreFromSnapshotProp]; marker != "" {With a delete stamped on the target and the reaper still working, blockstor snapshot volume-definition restore --from-resource <src> --from-snapshot <snap> --to-resource <target> writes every snapshot volume into the dying definition, the reaper removes them, and the command exits 0 with nothing on the screen. That is a terminal success report for work that did not happen. s resource restore refuses the same state through store.PreparedRestoreTarget, so this is one door short rather than a policy choice.
One branch beside the marker check closes it, on a value already in hand:
if slices.Contains(target.Flags, apiv1.ResourceFlagDelete) {
return fmt.Errorf("%w: %s is being deleted", errTargetBeingDeleted, args.toResource)
}Test: seed a DELETE-flagged target, run the verb, assert a non-zero exit and zero volumes written. It is red today.

[MAJOR] the CLI finished-leftover replay takes no adoption mark
store.ClaimAdoptedLeftover states its own contract: both doors take the mark before they write anything onto a leftover, and a replay of a finished one takes it with a nil snapshot, recording nothing, because the mark is what tells a creator still rolling back that somebody was answered for the definition. Both REST replays honour it through finishedLeftoverRefusal. The CLI returns before reaching it, twice:
$ grep -n 'sayAlreadyRestored(run\|ClaimAdoptedLeftover' internal/cli/snapshot.go
583: return true, sayAlreadyRestored(run, existing.Name, args.fromResource, args.fromSnapshot)
610: return sayAlreadyRestored(run, rdName, snap.ResourceName, snap.Name)
618: err = store.ClaimAdoptedLeftover(ctx, run.Store, rdName, snap)The mark is load-bearing here because rollBackCompensating skips the finished check entirely under rollbackEvenIfFinished, which all three RG-deleted doors pass. In that scope the adoption mark is the only thing between the definition and the cascade. So a re-run of blockstor snapshot resource restore while a creator's compensation is in flight prints "already restored", exits 0, and the rollback then deletes the definition the CLI just vouched for.
Fix: take the mark before answering, as the REST replay does, and map store.ErrAdoptedLeftoverRollingBack to the refusal the gate already words. Test: seed a finished leftover, run the replay, assert Blockstor/RestoreAdopted is on the definition afterwards.

3 participants
Two CSI-facing defects reported from a Cozystack stand running the blockstor backend.
The internal clone-snapshot reap that used to ride here moved to #200, stacked on this one, and the test-harness fixes to #199. This one is the two fixes and what they strictly need: a refactor that splits store-error and body-decode answers from their envelope, and
delete_namespaceson resource-definition and group modify, which the clone path uses.Clone rejected every request golinstor sends
The endpoint declared five fields and decoded with
DisallowUnknownFields, solayer_list, which linstor-csi always sends, was a 400 before any of the handler ran, and every clone-from-volume failed.resource_groupwas the next 400 behind it. Both are now honoured on both clone paths, validated the wayrg modifyvalidates them, the stack stored in canonical case, and the group is checked to exist.external_nameandvolume_passphrasesare refused rather than accepted and dropped.A
layer_liston a source with volumes must match the source's stack as a set: the clone restores the source's bytes and then brings the stack up over them, so an added LUKS layer formats the restored data and a dropped one leaves the target reading bytes it cannot decode. Withoutlayer_list, the target is stamped with the source's data-plane stack, so the target group's stack cannot change what the control plane believes about it. The volume-less shell clone gets the same stamp.Refusals reach linstor-csi as the
[]ApiCallRcgolinstor decodes; python-linstor keeps the CloneStarted object it decodes. The shape is picked by User-Agent. golinstor turns any 404 into a bareNotFoundError, so a 404's cause never reaches the PVC's events.Restore through linstor-csi was refused on its first call
The actual cause of #186. linstor-csi's
VolFromSnapcreates the resource definition itself, restores the volume definitions, then callssnapshot-restore-resource. The definition it created carried no restore marker, so the restore took it for somebody else's and answered 409 on the first call, every time. That is word for word the error in the report.A prepared target is now accepted when its volumes are exactly the snapshot's, it has no live replica, its group still exists, and its layer set matches the source's. The marker is stamped only after all of that, so a refusal leaves an operator's definition untouched. The CLI follows the same LINSTOR sequence (
rd c,s vd restore,s rsc restore). The decisive reads go past the informer cache, since linstor-csi's calls can land on different apiserver replicas.Retries resume instead of failing for good
CSI requires
CreateVolumeto be idempotent. A leftover carrying this operation's marker is resumed, judged by one function both doors and the CLI share: tear-down first, then the parent group, then an abandoned-rollback mark, then the volumes and a live replica. A finished leftover is answered as a replay and is left alone. Only a replica with a disk counts: a diskless or tie-breaker one never makes a leftover finished. An operator's diskless replica on a node the request places onto is refused; the controller's tie-breaker witness there is promoted the way autoplace promotes one. A finished restore still answers as a replay after its snapshot is deleted, judged against the record of the volumes the snapshot held.Two requests on one target are handled explicitly. A request that resumes a leftover marks it adopted before writing anything, and the creator's rollback re-reads that mark and yields instead of deleting what the other request answered 201 for. Both sides fail closed: a rollback that cannot hold or read the handshake deletes nothing and says to retry. A failed placement that already left the definition finished, with every volume and one replica holding data, is kept rather than rolled back on both doors, since a replay may have answered for it; the error names the requested replicas that never landed.
The props blockstor writes on a definition (the restore marker, the record of the snapshot's volumes, the adoption and rollback marks) are refused in clone prop edits,
rd modifyand the CLI property verbs.Testing
Every behavioural change is pinned by a test checked by reverting the change and confirming the named test goes red, and a mutation sweep over every new error return leaves none uncovered.
docs/cli-parity-known-deltas.mdrows 86 and 87 describe the clone refusals and the retry semantics, including one accepted window: a replica an operator adds by hand between the prepared-target check and the marker counts as part of the restore.Integration still hits the 2m30s timeout class that also fails on main; the placer flake is #198. Locally,
pkg/resthas aserver did not stop within 2sflake in the test harness; the harness PR fixes the related port race but not this one.
