fix #21291

We have 2 cases:

  • --mount: user expects to have HOME mounted in the guest. This does nothing and we want to show an example how to mount a specific directory in the guest.
  • --mount --mount-string ...: warn that the --mount flag is ignored and can be removed

After:

First Case:

Hi @henry3260. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

I think instead of warnining, we should merge the
--mount
and
--mount-string flags into

--mount

and if ppl enter --mount true --mount-string /blahblah:/blahblah

we could still support it
with good unit testing we could just transition into "--mount " flag without breaking old syntax users

@nirs Thanks for reviewing! I’d like to ask for your guidance here.

I noticed an unexpected behavior:

When running:
./out/minikube start --mount="/home/henry:/mnt" --alsologtostderr --v=2 2>&1 | grep -i mount
the boolean/string parsing logic in start.go is triggered correctly.
However, the same flag condition inside start_flags.go (where interpretMountFlag(cmd) is called) does not execute.

Both conditions check cmd.Flags().Changed(createMount), but they produce different results at runtime.

Do you have any hints why the flag state behaves differently between these two code paths? I suspect the config is initialized too early, but I’m not fully sure where the state gets overridden. Any suggestions or directions would be appreciated!
