…r captured A pod meeting every documented precondition was not captured on dev1: label nvsnap.io/capture=true, PodReady True, 2 GPUs, right node, right namespace, watcher confirmed running with --rootfs-capture. No manifest appeared and no rootfsonly log line was emitted in 15 minutes, across creation with the label and a later remove and re-add. Two defects, and the second is why the first was invisible. The dedup set marks a pod UID as SCHEDULED, and handlePodEvent treats a marked UID as nothing to do. runCapture has five exits and only the capture-error path released the mark. A warmup cancelled by context, a cancelled wait for a capture slot, or a pod refresh that abandons the capture all returned with the UID still marked, so the pod was never retried and every later event returned at the alreadyScheduled check. The mark is now released by defer on every path except a committed capture, which is the only outcome that should retire a pod. The one Info line in handlePodEvent was gated on gpus < 2, so a multi-GPU pod -- the case the rootfs path exists to serve -- produced no output on any branch. A capture that silently never happened looked exactly like one never triggered. Every decision now says what it did: skipped for label, skipped for not Ready, skipped as already scheduled, or scheduling, with the gpu count and warmup. The two previously silent aborts in runCapture log as well. Three tests. A cancelled warmup and an abandoned pod replacement both release the mark so a retry can fire, and a committed capture keeps it so the watcher does not recapture the same pod on every resync, which is the case the release must not break. Mutation-checked by never releasing: four tests turn red. The first attempt reported zero failures because the edit did not match and nothing was mutated, so the run now asserts the target was found and the mutant compiles. A mutation that did not apply proves nothing, which is the second time that trap has come up. Relates to #2099 Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
…own command A cachedir restore seeded 2.21GB from the capture with no download, then the pod exited without serving. The prewarm shim had exec'd ["sleep","30"]. tryL2CacheDir handed the shim the CAPTURED pod's recorded entry argv. That is wrong in principle: a cachedir restore is a warm cold-start of a fresh pod that carries its own manifest command, not a resurrection of the captured process. It was also wrong in practice, because for the bash-wrapper convention nvsnap's own manifests use (nohup setsid <engine> & ... while true; do sleep 30; done) the pid resolver landed on the idle sleep and recorded that as EntryArgv. The shim now execs the restoring pod's own command and args, which the webhook is about to overwrite with the shim path anyway. The recorded EntryArgv is kept only as a fallback for pods that declare neither and so rely on the image entrypoint. The hard "no recorded EntryArgv" guard becomes "nothing to exec from either source". Four tests: the pod's command wins over the manifest, image-entrypoint pods fall back to the manifest, neither is an error rather than a silent empty exec, and a composition test through the real tryL2CacheDir with a stubbed L2 backend asserts the NVSNAP_ORIG_COMMAND patch carries the pod's argv and not the captured [sleep 30] -- the exact shape that failed on dev1. Mutation-checked by reverting to the manifest argv: the composition test turns red. The first attempt did not compile and the harness reported it compiled, because `cmd | head && echo` reports head's status; the check now tests the build's own exit code. Third time today a non-compiling mutant almost passed as evidence. Relates to #2099 Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

Make the replacement test trigger a UID mismatch.
The fake client contains no pod named ghost. Its Get returns an error, so refreshPodForCapture continues with the original pod instead of taking the replacement branch. A later capture failure can clear the mark and make this test pass without checking the intended path. Add a fake pod with the same namespace and name but a different UID. This test should also catch the deferred-cleanup panic reported in src/compute-plane-services/nvsnap/internal/rootfsonly/watcher.go.

Wait for capture completion before checking the mark.
HandlePodEvent sets the mark synchronously. This predicate therefore succeeds before runCapture commits. If capture fails more than 200 milliseconds later, the final assertion can also pass before cleanup removes the mark. Wait for a confirmed commit and for the capture goroutine to finish before asserting that the mark remains.

Keep the original UID for deferred cleanup.
If refreshPodForCapture finds a replacement pod, it returns (nil, false). The assignment at Line 275 then sets pod to nil. On return, this defer evaluates pod.UID and panics in the capture goroutine, terminating the agent. Save the scheduled UID before the refresh and delete that UID in the defer.

… command, no shim The previous commit made the prewarm shim exec the restoring pod's own argv instead of the captured one. That fixed the symptom at the wrong layer. A cachedir restore is a volume mount plus a seeded cache shadow; the pod is a fresh container from its own image and its entrypoint should run exactly as authored. Nothing in front of it is needed, and the design comment already described the restore that way before the shim was bolted on. What the shim added, and why none of it is load-bearing here: - Page-cache prewarm, 8s for 2.2GB on dev1. The kernel warms on demand. - Recreating EntryRuntimeDirs. That exists for rootfs restores, where a captured filesystem lands in a pristine container whose entrypoint will not run again. For this capture the recorded dirs were host and image state (/run/systemd/*, /run/nvidia*, /run/lock) that any fresh container already has, plus /run/vllm, which all fourteen cachedir workload manifests create themselves with mkdir -p. - chdir and exec of an argv that had to be chosen correctly. Choosing it wrong is how a restored pod seeded 2.2GB perfectly and then ran sleep 30. Removed from tryL2CacheDir: the command rewrite and args removal, the five shim env vars (NVSNAP_NO_OVERLAY, NVSNAP_PREWARM_DIR, NVSNAP_ORIG_COMMAND, NVSNAP_ORIG_CWD, NVSNAP_RUNTIME_DIRS), the nvsnap-tools hostPath volume and mount that existed only to carry the shim binary, and restoreEntryArgv, whose job no longer exists. The rox mount, the writable cache shadow, the seed init container and the replayed cache env are unchanged. Consequence worth stating: nvsnap-rootfs-restore is now reachable only from the whole-rootfs restore branch, so the scoping of that path's removal, which this commit's predecessor had contradicted, holds again. One composition test through the real tryL2CacheDir with a stubbed L2 backend: no patch touches command or args, no shim env or tools volume is emitted, and the rox mount, seed init and cache env are. Mutation-checked by re-adding a command rewrite: the mutant compiles and the test turns red. Relates to #2099 Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

Removing the entrypoint shim also removed its page-cache prewarm, on the
evidence that time-to-Ready was 59s with it and 59s without. That was measured
on a 2GB model and does not generalise. The prewarm exists for large models on
network-attached rox storage, where the engine faults a safetensors set in by
mmap as small random reads and a parallel sequential read-ahead beats that
badly. It measurably helped large models on vLLM, and the seed init copies only
{cache}, so {model}, the big part, was starting cold.
Back as a nvsnap-prewarm init container after nvsnap-seed-cache: same node so
same page cache, same pod cgroup so the same memory accounting, and the pod's
own command stays untouched, which is the whole point of retiring the shim. It
reads the rox tree read-only as root with six parallel workers, matching the
retired Go prewarmer, and ends in || true because a read error must never fail
a restore. NVSNAP_PREWARM=0 on the workload skips it, the same knob the shim
honoured.
Tests: the restore now emits exactly [nvsnap-seed-cache, nvsnap-prewarm] in
that order, the prewarm reuses the workload image, mounts only the rox
read-only, runs as root and is best-effort; NVSNAP_PREWARM=0 omits it and still
leaves the command alone. Mutation-checked by dropping the prewarm append: the
mutant compiles and the test turns red.

…tore Four restores of Llama-3.1-70B (vLLM TP=4) from the same 131.6 GB rox on a ~1 GB/s network block volume, page cache dropped before each: prewarm 245 s and 249 s, no prewarm 263 s and 251 s, cold 632 s. The prewarm is neutral when a single reader already saturates the volume; its value is a property of the storage class (latency-bound single streams on a high-throughput volume such as Hyperdisk ML), so the doc says so instead of attributing it to model size. Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
The page-cache prewarm on a cachedir restore helps or not depending on the volume, not the model: on Hyperdisk ML the engine's per-fault mmap reads leave a high-throughput volume idle and the parallel sweep wins; on a volume one reader already saturates (NVMesh, 70B TP=4: 247 s vs 257 s) it is neutral. A per-pod env var was the only knob, so an operator could not set the right default for a cluster's storage. StorageProfile gains `prewarm` (default on) and `prewarmParallelism` (default 6), settable per provisioner through the existing nvsnap-storage-profiles ConfigMap. The agent resolves the profile once at startup, keeps it next to the L2 backend and hands it to the webhook, whose cachedir restore now takes the init container's presence and reader count from it. NVSNAP_PREWARM=0/1 on the pod still overrides the profile either way, so the existing opt-out keeps working. Tests cover the profile defaults and ConfigMap parsing, the webhook's on/off/parallelism/override matrix through the real patch builder, and the resolver returning the ConfigMap policy intact; the webhook tests were mutation-checked against a resolver that ignores the profile. Also drops two leftovers of the removed entrypoint shim in cachedir.go (an ineffectual hostPath root assignment and an empty append that vet rejected) and gofmt debt on the branch.

Identify the NVMesh setting as a ConfigMap override.
The built-in NVMesh profile does not set Prewarm, so it enables prewarming by default. This example disables it only when an operator installs the ConfigMap. Clarify that distinction here; the nearby text says the built-in table carries the same defaults.

Honor the effective NVSNAP_PREWARM value from ValueFrom.
The admission handler passes the unresolved pod directly to the mutator. prewarmWanted reads only EnvVar.Value, so a ValueFrom entry with effective value 0 causes the webhook to add nvsnap-prewarm. Its command then runs the sweep unconditionally. Pass the reference to the init container and check the resolved value there.

463 - 464, Update `prewarmWanted` and the `nvsnap-prewarm` init-container setup
so `NVSNAP_PREWARM` supplied through `ValueFrom` is resolved and honored at
runtime. Pass that environment reference to the init container and guard its
sweep command so it skips the sweep when the resolved value is `0`; preserve
existing behavior for literal values and when the variable is unset.

Why
Customers predominantly deploy Helm charts, and Helm-chart functions get no
cache reuse today: every worker downloads the model and recompiles its
kernels. #2099 tracks the full support story. This PR is steps 1 and 2 of it,
and the two defects that stood in the way of even measuring step 2.
A pod meeting every documented precondition for capture was never captured on
dev1, and no log line said why. Once that was fixed and the pod captured, a
fresh pod restoring from it seeded 2.21GB flawlessly and then exited without
serving.
What changed
Two fixes in the capture-and-restore path used by the cachedir engine.
The capture watcher's dedup set marks a pod UID as scheduled, and
handlePodEventtreats a marked UID as nothing to do.runCapturehas fiveexits and only the capture-error path released the mark, so a warmup cancelled
by context, a cancelled wait for a capture slot, or an abandoned pod refresh
left the UID poisoned for the life of the agent. The mark is now released by
defer on every path except a committed capture. Separately, the one Info line
in
handlePodEventwas gated ongpus < 2, so a multi-GPU pod produced nooutput on any branch; every decision now logs what it did.
The cachedir restore no longer runs a shim in front of the pod. It used to
rewrite the command to
nvsnap-rootfs-restore, which prewarmed the page cacheand then exec'd the CAPTURED pod's recorded argv. For the bash-wrapper
convention the pid resolver had recorded
["sleep","30"], so the restored podseeded 2.21GB perfectly, ran sleep 30, exited, and never served. A cachedir
restore is a warm cold-start of a fresh pod: mount the rox read-only, seed the
writable cache shadow, run the pod's own command untouched. The command rewrite,
the five shim env vars, and the nvsnap-tools hostPath mount that existed only to
carry the shim binary are gone.
The page-cache prewarm the shim used to do comes back as an
nvsnap-prewarminit container (same node, same pod cgroup, pod command untouched), and its
policy moves into the storage profile. Whether the parallel read-ahead helps
depends on the volume, not the model: on Hyperdisk ML the engine's per-fault
mmap reads leave a high-throughput volume idle and the sweep wins; on a volume
one reader already saturates it is neutral (70B A/B below).
StorageProfilegains
prewarm(default on) andprewarmParallelism(default 6), settable perprovisioner in the existing
nvsnap-storage-profilesConfigMap. The agentresolves the profile once at startup and hands it to the webhook. A pod's own
NVSNAP_PREWARM=0/1still overrides the profile either way.Commit order: watcher fix, shim argv fix, shim removal (supersedes the argv
fix, both kept for the reasoning), prewarm as init container, benchmark A/B,
prewarm policy in the storage profile.

Testing
Measured on dev1, 2026-09-24, agent
v0.2.73-noshim1, single namespace:Unit tests. Watcher: a cancelled warmup and an abandoned pod replacement both
release the mark, and a committed capture keeps it. Restore: a composition test
through the real
tryL2CacheDirwith a stubbed L2 backend asserts no patchtouches command or args, no shim env or tools volume is emitted, and the rox
mount, seed init container and replayed cache env are.
Both mutation-checked. Reverting the watcher release turns four tests red;
re-adding a command rewrite turns the restore test red. Two mutation attempts
initially reported success because the mutant did not compile and the harness
did not check; both redone against the build's exit code.
Prewarm A/B, Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct vLLM v0.20.0 TP=4, 131.6 GB rox on
NVMesh (~1 GB/s per volume), same node, page cache dropped before each run,
every pod served the same completion:
Storage-profile tests: profile defaults and ConfigMap parsing (
prewarm: false,prewarmParallelism), every built-in ships with the prewarm on; thewebhook's on/off/parallelism/pod-override matrix through the real
tryL2CacheDir; the resolver returning the ConfigMap policy intact and nilon an unmatched provisioner. Mutation-checked against a webhook that ignores
the profile's on/off and one that ignores its parallelism; both compiled and
both turned the test red.
go build,go vet,go teston the touched packages green; gofmt clean.Notes
The 15s saving is small because TinyLlama is small. Download and compile are
what get skipped, and both scale with the model.
With the shim gone,
nvsnap-rootfs-restoreis reachable only from the whole-rootfs restore branch, which restores the scoping of that path's removal.Everything here is single-namespace. NVCF runs charts in their own namespace,
so the next step in #2099 is the reader PVC reaching a namespace other than
the one the capture was written in.
