I try to run a pod on gke containing a mongo container and mount a persistent volume for data using gcePersistentDisk but it fails to mount.
First, I created the persistent disk by issuing :
gcloud compute disks create --size=1GiB --zone=europe-west3-a mongodb
Then, I created the pod using the following code:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: mongodb
spec:
volumes:
- name: mongodb-data
gcePersistentDisk:
pdName: mongodb
fsType: nfs4
containers:
- image: mongo
name: mongodb
volumeMounts:
- name: mongodb-data
mountPath: /data/db
ports:
- containerPort: 27017
protocol: TCP
After a while, when I list pods I get that as a result:
NAME mongodb
READY 0/1
STATUS ContainerCreating
RESTARTS 0
AGE 23m
And as a description of what's happened I get:
Warning FailedMount 5m (x18 over 26m) kubelet, gke-mongo-default-pool-02c59988-vmhz MountVolume.MountDevice failed for volume "mongodb-data" : executable file not found in $PATH
Warning FailedMount 4m (x10 over 24m) kubelet, gke-mongo-default-pool-02c59988-vmhz Unable to mount volumes for pod "mongodb_default(f1625bde-579d-11e9-a35f-42010a8a00a0)": timeout expired waiting for volumes to attach or mount for pod "default"/"mongodb". list of unmounted volumes=[mongodb-data]. list of unattached volumes=[mongodb-data default-token-5dxps]
I still can't figure out why it's still not ready ! Any suggestion please ?
fsType: ext4 instead of fsType: nfs4, that was the problem !
