I'm stuck with an annoying issue, where my pod can't access the mounted persistent volume.

Inspecting the pod, provides me with the following information,

Warning BackOff 2m35s (x71 over 17m) kubelet Back-off restarting failed containerTo me, it seems like the pod has full rw access to the volume, so I'm unsure why it's still refusing to access the directory. Any help will be appreciated!
After quite some digging, I finally figured out why it wasn't working. The logs were actually telling me all I needed to know in the end, the mounted persistentVolumeClaim simply did not have the correct file permissions to read from the mounted hostpath /mnt/data directory
To fix this, in a somewhat hacky way, I gave read, write & execute permissions to all.
chmod 777 /mnt/dataOverview can be found here
This is definitely not the most secure way, of fixing the issue, and I would strongly advise against using this in any production like environment.
Probably a better approach would be the following
sudo usermod -a -G 1000 1000
