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`
``` yaml
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.
``` bash
# 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
```
