You are using a standard class storage for your PVC, and your policy will be ReadWriteOnce. This does not mean you can only connect your PVC to one pod, but only to one node.

ReadWriteOnce – the volume can be mounted as read-write by a single node

ReadWriteMany – the volume can be mounted as read-write by many nodes

Here, seems like you have 2 pods trying to mount this volume. This will be flakey unless you do one of two things:

Right now you have 2 pods trying to mount the same volume, default/wordpress-mysql-b78774f44-gvr58 and default/wordpress-mysql-b78774f44-bjc2c.

You can also downscale to 1 pod, so you don't have to worry about any of the above altogether:

kubectl scale deploy wordpress-mysql --replicas=1
