I was curious to see what was going on inside of my minio object storage. Great technique here by Frank to create an inspector pod, then you can do as you wish with the data.

I created the manifest as pvc-inspector.yml

[code]
  apiVersion: v1
  kind: Pod
  metadata:
    name: pvc-inspector
  spec:
    containers:
    - image: busybox
      name: pvc-inspector
      command: ["tail"]
      args: ["-f", "/dev/null"]
      volumeMounts:
      - mountPath: /pvc
        name: pvc-mount
    volumes:
    - name: pvc-mount
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: pvc-name

Then used it like this.

[code]
  # create pvc-inspector pod
  kubectl apply -f pvc-inspector.yml
  # exec into inspector
  kubectl exec -it pvc-inspector -- sh
  # explore data
  ls /pvc
  # cleanup
  kubectl delete -f pvc-inspector.yml
