upgrading k0s deletes /etc/k0s/containerd.d/nvidia.toml unexpectedly

Before creating an issue, make sure you've checked the following:

• You are running the latest released version of k0s
• Make sure you've searched for existing issues, both open and closed
• Make sure you've searched for PRs too, a fix might've been merged already
• You're looking at docs for the released version, "main" branch docs are usually ahead of released versions.

What happened?

Upgrading from 1.30 to 1.31 seemed to have deleted the contents of /etc/k0s/containerd.d/. This breaks nvidia containerd runtime.

# ls /etc/k0s/containerd.d/

Steps to reproduce

1. Put /etc/k0s/containerd.d/nvidia.toml there
2. Upgrade the cluster to a major k0s version.2.
3. Observe, our beloved toml is now gone.

Expected behavior

Files in /etc/k0s/containerd.d/ owned by root should stay there

Actual behavior

Files in /etc/k0s/containerd.d/ appear to be deleted

Screenshots and logs

No response

Additional context

sorry i checked running the latest released version when I am not - I am trying to upgrade and noticed this bug!

[jnummelin]

hmm, that sounds weird. In the k0s codebase there's nothing that would delete anything in that path: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Ak0sproject%2Fk0s%20importsPathPosix&type=code

How did you do the upgrade?

[doctorpangloss]

I did it via k0sctl, nothing out of the ordinary

it is possible that upgrading the node -> stopping containerd -> terminating gpu operator pod -> somehow cleans up the nvidia.toml, i am investigating

[jnummelin]

terminating gpu operator pod

hmm, is it the gpu operator which actually drops in the file or do you drop it in via k0sctl hosts.files config?
