06/03/2025, 12:31 PMby design longhorn pods will only run on agent (worker) nodes. https://longhorn.io/docs/1.9.0/concepts/#1-design

06/03/2025, 4:02 PMThank you for the response. Ok, well then that behavior seems counter to what I have seen on 2 other clusters, but I imagine a reboot of those servers would yield the same result. There are no issues reported by kubectl for the longhorn namespace. I have one worker node that had a taint on it that was preventing longhorn startup, but removing the taint and applying it after longhorn started seems to have made that node happy. I asked Google AI and it gave me this nonsense: "Yes, Longhorn can and should run on RKE2 server nodes. It's a common practice to deploy Longhorn as a storage backend for Kubernetes clusters, including those running RKE2." So I was confused. It doesnt seem necessary to me to run it on a server node that has no workloads, but maybe it makes sense for some of the control plane pods to run on the server nodes?

06/03/2025, 5:56 PMSo I dont know what I think I saw... but there is no longhorn on the other server nodes either... so disregard that point. Not sure why Google AI thinks it should be.

06/03/2025, 6:15 PMI am not surprised; there are number of things GoogleAI has been wrong on

06/03/2025, 6:17 PMAlthough it may still be possible to run longhorn on server nodes if the label is set?? I have not tried this https://longhorn.io/docs/1.9.0/advanced-resources/os-distro-specific/okd-support/#label-and-annotate-the-node

06/03/2025, 9:05 PMYeah I saw an article on how to run it across all nodes, including server, but I am not looking to do anything non-standard.

06/05/2025, 7:03 AMIs it normal for it to report server nodes as Down? Pretty sure all nodes were reporting as up at one point, but probably before the server were rebooted.

06/05/2025, 7:04 AMIf I delete the node from the Longhorn UI does that remove it from longhorn, or does that pull that node out of the cluster?
