fencing/enabled: false overwritten

[jsalatiel]

If I annotate the node with "fencing/enabled: false" I expect that fencing-switcher won't change it for true again, but apparently is does.
Is this the expected behaviour? How can i make sure some nodes will never be fenced ?

Hi, fencing-switcher is controlling this annotation to indicate if node reboot initiated by user and hence node does not requires fencing.

The current design is:

• to add annotation when node is operable (eg. having Ready state, kubelet is up and able to run new workload)
• to remove annotation when node is doing graceful shutdown (to not initiate fencing procedure due fact that node changed state to NotReady)

If you want to control this annotation by yourself just remove fencing-switcher from these nodes by removing the label for it's daemonset.
