Trying to assign persistent volume to an uWSGI application, but I'm getting following error: bind(): Operation not permitted [core/socket.c line 230]. Works when I assign none-persistent "empty dir" volume.

Here are the yaml files of the persistent volume I'm trying to assign:

#volume claim
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: api-storage
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: api-storage
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 100Gi

#storage class
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: api-storage
provisioner: kubernetes.io/azure-file
mountOptions:
  - dir_mode=0777
  - file_mode=0777
  - uid=root
  - gid=root
parameters:
  skuName: Standard_LRS

The manifest of the application looks like this :

The final goal is to collect metrics from the uWSGI, at this moment, the metrics get delete if the pod gets deleted by scale down
