Research direction

The report identifies Windows containers, Kubernetes-style volume mounts with subpaths, and an existing AKS issue, but names no repository files, tests, or entry point. Start by comparing the linked AKS report and determining which layer owns the terminating-state behavior; the payload does not define a concrete fix or completion test.

Describe the bug

I don't want to double post, this bug has already been reported in the AKS Github:

Windows pod stuck in terminating state with subpath in volumemounts

I am working on escalating this through Azure support, but it's taking ages - and effort - to get through the first line of support. This issue only affects windows containers, but it is unclear what part of the stack is responsible for the issue.

I'm hoping that posting here will give it some visiblity or ping the right people at MS.
