Hello,  
I’m trying to use AWS EFS for waypoints server install on nomad and getting the below error.

command I’m using to install waypoint server:

waypoint install   
-platform=nomad   
-accept-tos   
-nomad-consul-service=true   
-nomad-dc=my-datacenter   
-nomad-host=[https://nomad.mydomain](https://nomad.mydomain)   
-nomad-csi-volume-provider=[efs.csi.aws.com](http://efs.csi.aws.com)   
-nomad-csi-plugin-id=aws-efs0   
-nomad-csi-fs=efs   
-nomad-csi-parameters=“provisioningMode=efs-ap,fileSystemId=fs-\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*”

**Error:**  
❌ Creating persistent volume  
! Error installing server into nomad: Failed creating Nomad persistent volume: Unexpected response code: 500 (1 error  
occurred:  
\* controller create volume: CSI.ControllerCreateVolume: volume  
“waypoint-server” snapshot source &{“” “”} is not compatible with these  
parameters: rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = Missing provisioningMode  
parameter

)

any idea on what’s causing this issue?

waypoint team created a fix for this and should be available in next release

> <https://github.com/hashicorp/waypoint/pull/4157>
>
> Fixes #4152. CSI Parameters were not being passed to the creation of the CSI vol…ume for the server before this PR.
> 
> This PR also adds a flag to the Nomad runner install to set CSI parameters.

Still seeing this error when attempting to set up a waypoint server (0.10.5) using an NFS CSI volume

@dehuszar are you seeing the same error as @premkottu, or is it something new?
