My mongo is running as a docker container on the kubernetes, with glusterfs providing persistent volume. After I restart kuberntes (the machine power off and restart), all the mongo pods cannot come back, their logs:

chown: changing ownership of `/data/db/user_management.ns': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/data/db/storage.bson': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/data/db/local.ns': Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of `/data/db/mongod.lock': Read-only file system

Here /data/db/ is the mounted gluster volume and I can make sure it's rw mode!:

# kubectl get pod mongoxxx -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod

And when I ls on the kubernetes node:

# ls -ls /var/lib/kubelet/pods/fc6c9ef3-e0a3-11e6-b0d1-5254003b48ea/volumes/kubernetes.io~glusterfs/auth-mongo-data/

I cannot chown though the volume is mounted as rw.
