Spring Cloud Config Spring cloud config Server not able to clone to Persistent volume which is attached to Azure File Share.

Hello Spring Cloud team,

We tried to config spring cloud config server with bit bucket as backend to server files. However , when trying to clone the git repository files to Persistent volume which is attached to Azure file share it is failing with error as mentioned below. Config Server not able to clone to Persistent volume which is attached to Azure File Share. Whereas manually cloning through Git CLI the repository is cloned, but when Spring Config Server pod gets deployed it is unable to clone the repository. We suspect that spring java code is not internally able to clone the repository.

Please find the underlying infra details where the Config Serve pod is running.

Platform: AKS cluster. OS: ubuntu 18.04 SMB / CIFS

We are also facing this issue. It seems that SPring is taking the File System configuration where it¡s been executed, not from the drive the configuration is going to be stored locally, in our case we are using SMB 3.0 which is not fully compliant with Unix FS.

I fail to see how this is a bug in spring cloud. Cloning is a function of jgit. The full stack trace would be helpful.
