[muyufan]

Actual Behavior

hello I created an pvc, and it auto created an pv which bound to this pvc
then I check the pv config it has Path:
/var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/pvc-53553bbf-8198-4096-bd78-2c78ff4c5b1c_argo_output

but where this path is located? I using windows with wsl,
the path looks like an linux folder, but after using wsl -d rancher-desktop to check,couldn't find above folder

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> .\kubectl.exe -nargo get pv
NAME                                       CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   RECLAIM POLICY   STATUS   CLAIM         STORAGECLASS   REASON   AGE

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> .\kubectl.exe -nargo get pvc

I using windows with wsl,
the path looks like an linux folder, but after using wsl -d rancher-desktop to check,couldn't find above folder

You are not showing the commands you run to look for the folder, but it is exactly where you expected it.

I deployed mariadb and see the PVC right there:

PS C:\Users\Jan> wsl -d rancher-desktop ls /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage
pvc-92b11f96-ac34-487a-8d55-bec2d8246e47_default_data-my-release-mariadb-0
PS C:\Users\Jan> wsl -d rancher-desktop ls /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/pvc-92b11f96-ac34-487a-8d55-bec2d8246e47_default_data-my-release-mariadb-0/data
aria_log.00000001   ib_buffer_pool      ibtmp1              mysql               sys
aria_log_control    ib_logfile0         multi-master.info   mysql_upgrade_info  test
ddl_recovery.log    ibdata1             my_database         performance_schema

I'm going to move this to "Discussions" as it doesn't seem to be a bug report, but rather a usage question.

thanks, I use wsl -d rancher-desktop to go to shell, but /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/ is empty.
anyway now it is PVC folder is created, don't know why, maybe because I restarted my computer.
