This is the scenario: a SQL Server linux kubernetes setup with minikube.
It runs fine with default settings, databases/tables are created no problem.
But the database files should not be stored within the container so a PersistentVolumeClaim was added and the pod config changed to use the claim and mount /var/opt/mssql to /sqldata on the minikube VM.

volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/var/opt/mssql/data"
name: sqldata-storageAlso tried image: microsoft/mssql-server-linux
chown -R 10001:0 /var/opt/mssql
is called in initcontainer to give mssql user access to the host VM's directory.
But what happens now is that the sql server pod starts up and after a minute or two it stops with a CrashloopBackoff.
The logfile from the pod says:
2020-08-02 14:33:57.55 Server Registry startup parameters: -d /var/opt/mssql/data/master.mdf -l /var/opt/mssql/data/mastlog.ldf -e /var/opt/mssql/log/errorlog 2020-08-02 14:33:57.78 Server Error 87(The parameter is incorrect.) occurred while opening file '/var/opt/mssql/data/master.mdf' to obtain configuration information at startup. An invalid startup option might have caused the error. Verify your startup options, and correct or remove them if necessary
Logging into the minikube VM, it looks like sql server does have access as the master table etc is created in the actual mounted directory although only owner permissions are set which is 10001:
$ ls -l /sqldata
-rw-r----- 1 10001 root 4194304 Aug 9 06:51 master.mdfWhat to check for to get it running like this?
I have managed to run this. The only thing that I changed from your spec is removing the storageclassName from the Persistent Volume and PersistentVolumeClaim. This is because I didn't have a storage class created so not specifying the storage class will use the default one.
Here is yaml I run.
#pv.yaml

I could not comment but, creating a PV and PVC without the storageClassName breaks the link between the two constructs, you will note that the PVC will create a dynamic PV that is then bound to the default Storage Class. This is especially true when running docker desktop with kubernetes turned on as the orchestrator. I had the same issue on my local install where I wanted to run everything hosted out of docker.
