Permission issues with non-root user pods

[xrow]

Depending on the type of pod you start the PVs are created with different owners/permissions.

In the pod we do see now permission errors

cp: cannot create directory '/var/solr/data/ezplatform': Permission denied

The reason for that is that the folder is owned by root with 755 permissions and the user solr can`t create folders.

A fix could be to create that folders with 777 permissions somehow.

[root@openshift data]# ls -lisa hostpath-provisioner/
total 16
2147488241 4 drwxrwxrwx. 9 root    root 4096 Aug 14 16:47 .

use fsGroup: 1000 under securityContext in your pod/container spec

Hi,

I think I know what your point is. Doesn`t it make sense to support any userid?
