WSL Kubernetes Pod stuck in ContainerCreating state due to volume mount
You must use this format for the path:
/run/desktop/mnt/host/c/someDir/volumeDirSo in your case it is:
/run/desktop/mnt/host/c/kubernetes/typo3-8/mysql-storage/UPDATE: You really don't want to use windows host directories inside WSL2 distro because it is really really poor performance. Use the WSL2 distro directories instead that you can access just as easily from the host windows on this address \\wsl$
As described in the following example taken from here, the path shouldn't end with /.
apiVersion: v1kind: PersistentVolumemetadata: name: example-local-pvspec: capacity: storage: 500Gi accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain storageClassName: local-storage local: path: /mnt/disks/vol1 nodeAffinity: required: nodeSelectorTerms: - matchExpressions: - key: kubernetes.io/hostname operator: In values: - my-nodeChanging your path to path: /c/kubernetes/typo3-8/mysql-storage makes the magic and your PVC works as designed.
