I am trying to mount a volume within a Kubernetes pod (running linux) to a host folder on Windows 10. The pod starts up without issue, however, the data in the volumes aren't being reflected within the Pod and data set in the Pod isn't being reflected on the Windows host.
Here is my persistent volume:
kind: PersistentVolume
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: "elastic-search-persistence"
labels:
volume: persistence
spec:
storageClassName: hostpath
capacity:
storage: 5Gi
accessmodes:
- ReadWriteMany
hostPath:
path: /c/temp/es
Here is my persistent claim:
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: "elastic-search-persistence-claim"
spec:
storageClassName: hostpath
volumeName: "elastic-search-persistence"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
resources:
requests:
storage: 5Gi
And here is my Pod using the above persistent volumes...
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: windows-volume-demo
spec:
containers:
- name: windows-volume-demo
image: busybox
command: [ "sh", "-c", "sleep 1h" ]
volumeMounts:
- name: windows-volume-data-storage
mountPath: /data/demo
securityContext:
allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
volumes:
- name: windows-volume-data-storage
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: elastic-search-persistence-claim
I can start everything fine, however, when I create a file in my C:\temp\es
folder on my Windows host, that file doesn't show inside the /data/demo
folder in the Pod. And the reverse is also true. When I exec into the Pod and create a file in the /data/demo
folder, it doesn't show in the C:\temp\es
folder on the Windows host.
The folder/file privileges are wide open for the C:\temp
folder and the C:\temp\es
folder. I also tried exec-ing into the Pod and changing the write privs for the /data/demo
folder to wide open -- all with no success.
This configuration works as expected on a Mac host (changing the volume paths for the host to a Mac folder). I suspect it is a privilege/permissions issue for Windows, but I am at a loss as to how to find/fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
