Question
Does recycling Node in Node Pool on k8s delete volume data

Asked by aliasgar
I’m running a single Node cluster which went into "not ready’ status so I recycled the node, but then when the cluster started up all my volume data seems to have been lost! I thought the volumes were suppose to be independent of the pod? What should I have done to keep the data when the node entered the ‘not ready’ status? Thanks.

Hi there,
Did you create a volume claim with storage class
do-block-storage?If you’ve created the volume directly on the node itself, that would explain why the data might have been lost.
Instead, you would want to create a Block Storage by creating a
PersistentVolumeClaim(PVC) as part of your deployment as described here:https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/how-to/add-volumes/
