Hello. I use cifs plugin and it work if i use as pod. I have decided as deployment, but it doesn't work

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment

  name: nginx-deployment
  namespace: services
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:

        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

        flexVolume:
          driver: fstab/cifs
          fsType: cifs
          options:

            networkPath: //server/data
          secretRef:

While mostly a workaround, could you try using volume claims? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46906068/is-there-any-way-to-have-a-flex-volume-inside-a-persistent-volume-claim

To add to this, I have been using this module from PV/PVC within a deployment, unfortunately it only works as ReadOnly when deployed this way. If I attempt to mount it as ReadWrite the pods will fail to launch.

For me this is working within a deployment. Here is my YAML, so you can compare:
