-# This is a patch to the existing statefulset deployment of CSI rbdplugin.
-#
-# This is to be used when using `clusterID` instead of monitors or
-# monValueFromSecret in the StorageClass to specify the Ceph cluster to
-# provision storage from, AND when the value of `--configroot` option to the
-# CSI pods is NOT "k8s_objects".
-#
-# This patch file, patches in the specified secret for the 'clusterID' as a
-# volume, instead of the Ceph CSI plugin actively fetching and using kubernetes
-# secrets.
