With the Configuring a private storage endpoint on Azure by enabling the Image Registry Operator to discover VNet and subnet names[1], if creating cluster with internal Image Registry, it will create a storage account with private endpoint, so once the new pvc using the same skuName with this private storage account, it will hit the mount permission issue.

We can have some simple WA like using storageclass with networkEndpointType: privateEndpoint or specify another storage account, but using the pre-defined storageclass azurefile-csi will fail. And the automation is not easy to walk around.  

I'm not sure if CSI Driver could check if the reused storage account has the private endpoint before using the existing storage account.
