I have been trying to create a stateful set in Kubernetes with a persistent volume.

Unfortunately, the pods never get out of pending state because kubernetes say that it can't bind the pv to the pvc.

Here is my pv template

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: pv001
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  capacity:
    storage: 3Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Recycle
  hostPath:
    path: /mnt/data/pv001

Here is my statefulset configuration file.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
  name: mysql
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mysql
  serviceName: mysql
  replicas: 3
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: mysql
    spec:

        - |
          set -ex
          # Generate mysql server-id from pod ordinal index.
          [[ `hostname` =~ -([0-9]+)$ ]] || exit 1
          ordinal=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
          echo [mysqld] > /mnt/conf.d/server-id.cnf
          # Add an offset to avoid reserved server-id=0 value.
          echo server-id=$((100 + $ordinal)) >> /mnt/conf.d/server-id.cnf
          # Copy appropriate conf.d files from config-map to emptyDir.
          if [[ $ordinal -eq 0 ]]; then
            cp /mnt/config-map/master.cnf /mnt/conf.d/
          else

Here are the errors that I get.

3m49s       Normal    FailedBinding          persistentvolumeclaim/data-mysql-0   no persistent volumes available for this claim and no storage class is set
29s         Warning   FailedScheduling       pod/mysql-0                          0/2 nodes are available: 2 node(s) had taints that the pod didn't tolerate.

I can create a persistent volume claim manually and it seems to bind, but I can't get this statefulset yaml file to work. The pods don't start with the failed binding error.

Any help appreciated.
