I am working with Docker Desktop on Windows 10 as well as Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I have a containerized app that I deploy to the local K8s cluster (courtesy of Docker Desktop). Typical story: all was working fine until one day a Docker Desktop update came and ruined everything). DD version I have now is 2.3.0.2 stable.

I have a pod with MySQL with defined pv, pvc and storage class. When I deploy my app to the cluster I can see that pv and pvc are bound but the pod is stuck at ContainerCreating state:

The error is

MountVolume.NewMounter initialization failed for volume "mysql-pv" : path "/c/kubernetes/typo3-8/mysql-storage/" does not exist

But the path actually exists on disk (in WSL that is).

The pv:

I tried running it from PowerShell but no luck. I get the same result. But it was all working fine before the update.

Is it configuration based issue?
