Kubernetes - Persistent Storage

A user wrote this PVC YAML but it fails to bind:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: test-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

What is the most probable error?

ANo PersistentVolume supports ReadWriteMany access mode

BThe storage size 10Gi is too small

CThe PVC is missing a storageClassName field

DThe metadata.name is invalid

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check access mode compatibility
ReadWriteMany is less commonly supported; if no PV supports it, PVC cannot bind.
Step 2: Validate other fields
Storage size 10Gi is reasonable; storageClassName is optional; metadata.name is valid.
Final Answer:
No PersistentVolume supports ReadWriteMany access mode -> Option A
Quick Check:
PVC bind failure often due to unsupported access mode [OK]

Quick Trick: Check PV supports requested access mode before binding [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming storage size too small causes bind failure
Thinking storageClassName is always required
Misreading metadata.name as invalid
