Are you running node_exporter in Docker?

yes, with the recommended args

docker run
     --log-driver none
     --name node-exporter
     --net host
     --pid host
     --volume /proc:/host/proc
     --volume /sys:/host/sys
     --volume /:/rootfs
     --volume /etc/node-exporter:/etc/node-exporter
     prom/node-exporter
         --path.procfs /host/proc
         --path.sysfs /host/sys
         --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points "^/(sys|proc|dev|host|etc)($|/)"

What did you do that produced an error?

Trying to access exported disk metrics for k8s attached/mounted GCE persistent disk shows a node-exporter error metric incremented when node-exporter experienced an error while collecting statistics for this device.

# curl -s localhost:9100/metrics | grep mongodb-backups
node_filesystem_device_error{device="/dev/sdb",fstype="xfs",mountpoint="/rootfs/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/gce-pd/mounts/mongodb-backups"} 1

What did you expect to see?

When using v0.14.0, I can see the filesystem metrics for that device/mountpoint (seen below). Yet the new version v0.15.0 does not export the same metrics.

docker run
     --log-driver none
     --name node-exporter
     --net host
     --pid host
     --volume /proc:/host/proc
     --volume /sys:/host/sys
     --volume /:/rootfs
     --volume /etc/node-exporter:/etc/node-exporter prom/node-exporter:v0.14.0

         -collector.sysfs /host/sys

What did you see instead?

A metric implying that node-exporter encountered an error while collecting statistics for this device.

# curl -s localhost:9100/metrics | grep mongodb-backups
node_filesystem_device_error{device="/dev/sdb",fstype="xfs",mountpoint="/rootfs/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/gce-pd/mounts/mongodb-backups"} 1

Okay so the root cause is the same: We're dropping privileges to nobody now, which means you can't statsfs() the bind-mounted mountpoints. If you want to monitor the mongodb-backups volume you should mount it to the node-exporter pod. Then you also need to ignore all of these failing mountpoints, e.g:

      args:
          - --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points
          - '^\/rootfs\/(var\/lib|run\/docker)\/.*'

If you don't want to mount the volume to the node-exporter pod, you can of course also force it to run as root like described here: https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/pull/599#issuecomment-336870413

One more thing to note, with v0.15.0 this symptom is happening with _all_ GCE PD mounts in our kube clusters (even on our Google Container-Optimized OS instances).

Thanks for the detailed report! Would be most interested in the log output of the node-exporter. Can you provide that too?

Sure, here are the logs for v0.15.0
