Epic Goal

Support upstream feature "Control volume mode conversion between source and target PVC [E2E Tests]"" in OCP as Beta, i.e. test it and have docs for it (unless it's Alpha upstream).

Note: This is a feature of external-provisioner sidecar, that will reject restoring a raw block volume snapshot as a filesystem PV. IMO we should just mention it in a snapshot chapter that the feature exists, as it's useful only for very specialized use cases (e.g. backup software).

Why is this important?

• We get this upstream feature through Kubernetes rebase. We should ensure it works well in OCP and we have docs for it.

Dependencies (internal and external)

1. External: the feature is currently scheduled for Beta in Kubernetes 1.27, i.e. OCP 4.14, but it may change before Kubernetes 1.27 GA.
