Unable to mount the blob storage account as soft delete got enabled

[SailajaB]

Hi Team,

when we try to mount or access the blob storage where soft delete enabled. But it is getting failed with below error

org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException: Operation failed: "This endpoint does not support BlobStorageEvents or SoftDelete. Please disable these account features if you would like to use this endpoint.&#[34;, 409, HEAD]​ 

Can anyone suggest what is the actual issue and solution for this?

Thank you

Jeez, I was planning on enabling soft delete on our adls gen2, but I think I will wait a while after reading this.

Sorry. I updated the case..

Mount is working with ADLS gen2 soft delete. We tested that one

But the same is not working for blob storage soft delete.

Tnx for the heads up!

Hi @Sailaja B​ ,

As per the Managed identities for Azure resource authentication document:

 Note

• If your blob account enables soft delete, system-assigned/user-assigned managed identity authentication is not supported in Data Flow.
• If you access the blob storage through a private endpoint using Data Flow, note when system-assigned/user-assigned managed identity authentication is used Data Flow connects to the ADLS Gen2 endpoint instead of the Blob endpoint. Make sure you create the corresponding private endpoint in ADF to enable access.

To resolve this issue, you have a couple of options:

Option1: Disable the soft delete option

Option2: Changing the linked service type for a source file from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to Azure Blob Storage in the linked service.

Thank you for the reply.

If blob storage got enabled with soft delete , we should use only AccessKey or SAS to do mount .

SP won't work

In ADLS Gen2 irrespective of soft delete option we can mount

Thank you
