Volume mounting issues with helm deployment

[zelima]

• after successful deploy. Another pair of ckan and jobs pods are created that hang there forever
• However there are 2 working pods for both of them... and both of them doing fine in logs

kubectl get pods -n aa

• Both have nearly similar logs from kubect describe

• Not sure bad gateway on https://aa.viderum.xyz/ and above is related. But I can see nothing from logs of working ckan pod. Part of the logs from there

From @akariv
it seems that there is a volume mounting problem, right?
CCO starts ckan in two phases - first one just to init stuff and then a full deployment with replication.
it looks like the 2nd deployment can't start because the volumes are already mounted with the first deployment
and the first deployment won't end for some reason (perhaps it's waiting for the second deployment to get to ready state, causing a deadlock?)
I'm guessing there's something you can change in the graceful death period setting in the deployment that might fix this behaviour

[zelima]

This seems to be resolved after scaling down and up the deployment. Ttried manually and it worked, probably we should make this part of cco.

kubectl scale -n namespace deployment <deployment> --replicas=0
kubectl scale -n namespace deployment <deployment> --replicas=1
kubectl -n namespace get deployments

But unfortunately, this did not solve the bed gateway issue. CKAN pod is stuck to start and the app is not listening on 5000
