A school district needs disk contents preserved after a PVC is deleted so staff can recover data manually. Which reclaim policy should the PV use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Retain is the evidence locker: claim goes away, but the box of disks stays until a human checks it out and cleans up. Delete would toss the box. For forensics or precious recovery paths, Retain is the policy you want.
Full Explanation
Reclaim policy Retain leaves the PersistentVolume (and usually the external volume) in place after PVC deletion so an administrator can reclaim or archive data before manual cleanup. Delete removes assets; Recycle is deprecated legacy behavior and not the modern CSI default story; Always is not a reclaim policy.
