Why cant I have a setup like below. I want to map vol1 to a pod with different subpath has xyz and vol2 to the same pod with subpath abc.
volumes:
- name:vol1
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: testclaim
- name: vol2
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: testclaim
containers volume mounts:
volumeMounts:
- name: vol1
mountPath: /test/
subPath: abc
- name: vol2
mountPath: /test2/
subPath: xyz
What is the alternative for this kind of setup?
Try this
volumeMounts:
- name: vol1
mountPath: /test
subPath: abc
- name: vol1
mountPath: /test2
subPath: xyz
volumes:
- name: vol1
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: testclaim
you can use same PVC in different pods who are in same node. but you can't claim same pvc with different volumes in same pod. and here you don't need to add the pvc in your volumes multiple time . you can just add pvc single time. and mount the volume in different mountPath.
this will be the updated yaml format
volumes:
- name: vol1
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: testclaim
volumeMounts:
- name: vol1
mountPath: /test
subPath: abc
- name: vol1
mountPath: /test2
subPath: xyz
