UPDATE Finally this is nothing to do with Azure File Share. It is actually the same case with Azure Disk and NFS or HostPath
I have mounted an Azure file Shares volume to a mongoDb pod with the mountPath /data. Everything seems to work as expected. When I exec into the pod, I can see mongo data in /data/db. But on the Azure File Shares I can only see the folders /db and /dbconfig, not the files. Any idea ? I have granted the permission 0777 to the volume.
This is my yaml files

This setup doesn't work with Azure Files nor with Azure Disks. I am working on one of the projects where I faced similar kind of issue and took Azure support but they don't have any specific resolution for the same.
Root cause provided by Azure Support : The data/files which doesn't remain persistent are the ones which has ownership of mongodb.
Solved the problem by changing mongo image for docker.io/bitnami/mongodb:4.0.2-debian-9. With this image, mongo data is written on the file share and the data is now persistant
