PV Troubleshooting

This chapter introduces methods to troubleshoot persistent storage issues – including PV (Persistent Volume), PVC (Persistent Volume Claim), StorageClass, and the like.

Generally speaking, no matter what abnormal state the PV is in, executing the kubectl describe pv/pvc <pod-name> command allows you to view the current events of the PV. These events are usually instrumental in diagnosing any issues that may have occurred with the PV or PVC.

kubectl get pv
kubectl get pvc
kubectl get sc

kubectl describe pv <pv-name>
kubectl describe pvc <pvc-name>
kubectl describe sc <storage-class-name>
