can't upload a big file to persistent volume

7/19/2018

I created a persistent volume, claim (10Gi) and mounted on a pod. Below are the YAML file. YAML file

My intention is to upload a big file to persistent volume by

kuberctl cp [local file path] namespace/pod_name:/mount_path

I expected the mount path should be of 10Gi (as of PV). Instead it's 4KB. hence I can not upload a big file.

Below is the error when I try to upload a big file:

tar: file_name: Wrote only 2560 of 10240 bytes
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
command terminated with exit code 2

Which is I guess because directories doesn't have space. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
