Question

A county app pod mounts a PersistentVolumeClaim as a volume. What must be true before that pod can become Ready using the claim?

Accepted Answer

The PVC must be Bound to a PersistentVolume so the volume can be mounted into the pod. — The pod is asking for a claimed disk. If the claim is still shopping for a volume, the pod waits—no Bound claim, no happy Ready mount.

Answer

The PVC can stay Pending indefinitely; the kubelet fabricates emptyDir instead.

Answer

The PVC must already exist in kube-system, regardless of the pod namespace.

Answer

The PV must use Retain reclaimPolicy or the pod is rejected at admission.
