Kubernetes Pod Warning: 1 node(s) had volume node affinity conflict

Question

I try to set up Kubernetes cluster. I have Persistent Volume, Persistent Volume Claim and Storage class all set-up and running but when I wan to create pod from deployment,

Answer 1

Different case from GCP GKE. Assume that you are using regional cluster and you created two PVC. Both were created in different zones (you didn't notice).

In next step you are trying to run the pod which will have mounted both PVC to the same pod. You have to schedule that pod to specific node in specific zone but because your volumes are on different zones the k8s won't be able to schedule that and you will receive the following problem.

For example - two simple PVC(s) on the regional cluster (nodes in different zones):

kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: disk-a
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi
---
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: disk-b
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

Next simple pod:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: debug
spec:
  containers:
    - name: debug
      image: pnowy/docker-tools:latest
      command: [ "sleep" ]
      args: [ "infinity" ]
      volumeMounts:
        - name: disk-a
          mountPath: /disk-a
        - name: disk-b
          mountPath: /disk-b
  volumes:
    - name: disk-a
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: disk-a
    - name: disk-b
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: disk-b

Finally as a result it could happen that k8s won't be able schedule to pod because the volumes are on different zones.
