to require the vendor and product entries within the same device stanza, rather
than matching them independently anywhere in the file. Preserve the existing

hashicorp terraform-provider-kubernetes v2.21.1 kubernetes_daemon_set_v1 wait_for_rollout implementation
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the HashiCorp Terraform Kubernetes provider version 2.21.1, the wait_for_rollout attribute for the kubernetes_daemon_set_v1 resource was ineffective [1][2]. While the documentation stated that wait_for_rollout existed and defaulted to true, the provider implementation at that time contained a bug where it checked the wrong status field (CurrentNumberScheduled instead of numberReady) [1]. As a result, when wait_for_rollout was set to true, the provider would not actually wait for the DaemonSet pods to reach a ready state before completing the apply operation [1][2]. This issue was later identified and resolved in subsequent versions of the provider (addressed in PR #2419 and explicitly noted in the project changelog as fix [GH-2789]) [1][3][4]. If you are experiencing issues with rollout timing, it is recommended to upgrade to a more recent version of the provider [1][3].

Upgrade the Kubernetes provider before relying on this dependency. environments/legacy/providers.tf pins hashicorp/kubernetes to 2.21.1. In that version, kubernetes_daemon_set_v1 defaults wait_for_rollout to true, but its rollout check uses currentNumberScheduled instead of numberReady. Terraform can therefore release helm_release.longhorn after the DaemonSet pods are scheduled while the privileged init container is still pending or has failed. Use a provider release that includes the DaemonSet rollout fix for PR #2419/GH-2789; setting wait_for_rollout = true does not fix version 2.21.1.

Detect the exclusion in one device stanza.
Line 10 matches vendor "^IET$" and product "^VIRTUAL-DISK$" anywhere in the file. If separate device stanzas contain these values, the condition passes although no effective Longhorn exclusion exists. The script then skips the update, and multipathd can claim Longhorn disks on a replacement node.
Parse one device stanza at a time, or inspect the effective multipath -t configuration. Add fixtures for split stanzas and matching comments.

The single-node incident combined PostgreSQL memory pressure with multipath claiming Longhorn iSCSI disks. Persist the verified IET/VIRTUAL-DISK exclusion on replacement Linux nodes using a narrowly scoped host-configuration DaemonSet. It backs up and preserves host configuration and reloads multipathd; it never flushes maps or touches filesystems.
Set future Longhorn claims to one replica, Retain and the existing azblob backup target/default recurring-job group. The pinned 1.8.1 chart omits backupTargetName from its StorageClass template, so a checked postrenderer supplies it and fails if the template changes. Include the incident report, unresolved findings and rollout instructions.
Validation: Terraform fmt and isolated validate with Kubernetes 2.21.1/Helm 2.17.0; host-script preservation/idempotence/failure fixtures; actual chart 1.8.1 render with one replica, Retain, azblob and recurring-job selection verified. No Terraform apply was run.
Rollout requires review of privileged host access and a plan from the environment owning the deployed Helm release. The azblob target, credential secret and default backup job must already exist. Longhorn recreates the StorageClass on this ConfigMap change; bound PVs/PVCs remain, but avoid concurrent new-volume provisioning. Existing volume settings are not changed retroactively. Do not accept unrelated replacements or delete claims to make an apply succeed.
The live cluster is back on its original single node, with Azure count/min/max all one and seven healthy volumes. The temporary recovery node was deleted. PostgreSQL memory allocation still needs diagnosis, and database off-node backups/restore exercises remain follow-up work. This PR does not claim node-level failover or a permanent fix for the unproven memory cause.
Related incident PRs: backend, telegram, polinetwork-cd.
Deployment gate: the existing stable-branch workflow automatically applies both k3s and legacy environments after merge (subject to the production environment gate). Review both complete plans before merging; this PR must not authorize unrelated infrastructure changes.
Published CI also passed both environment plans and unit-test jobs. k3s reports no changes; legacy reports exactly one addition (the multipath DaemonSet), one in-place change (the Longhorn Helm release), and zero destroys. The apply job was skipped.
