Editing CCU:Perstistent storage on the Kubernetes cluster (section)

== Local storage on the node ==

The path for local storage for each user is

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
/raid/local-data/<your-username>
</syntaxhighlight>

You can mount it as a hostPath, but have to make sure that the directory is created if it does not exist, by specifying "type: DirectoryOrCreate".

The data will remain persistent on the host, but note that it also only exists on this particular host. If you need to access it again, you need to make sure the pod always ends up on the same specific node. See example below. Otherwise, write your scripts in such a way that they check for existence of the local data, and if it is not there yet, copy it over from somewhere on the internet.

'''In contrast to Ceph storage, local paths on the hosts are not backed up. You have been warned.'''
