Describe the issue

So i try to set each pod in the StatefulSet should be manually assigned a specific PVC without use volumeClaimTemplates.

I use the petch for each pods and statefulset also but there are not working.

So this is my pvc.yaml file code :

`apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: busybox-pvc-0
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: busybox-pvc-1
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: busybox-pvc-2
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
`

and this is my statefullset.yaml code :

apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: StatefulSet metadata: name: busybox spec: serviceName: "busybox-service" replicas: 3 selector: matchLabels: app: busybox template: metadata: labels: app: busybox spec: containers: - name: busybox image: busybox command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 3600"] volumeMounts: - name: busybox-storage mountPath: /mnt/data volumes: - name: busybox-storage persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: busybox-pvc-0

and i try to use "petch" like this but there are get error like this:

dev_2@Tadhak-dev-02:~/Backup/Opensearch/Stateful_PVC$ minikube kubectl -- patch pod busybox-0 --type='json' -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/ spec/volumes/0/persistentVolumeClaim/claimName", "value": "busybox-pvc-0"}]' The request is invalid: the server rejected our request due to an error in our request dev_2@Tadhak-dev-02:~/Backup/Opensearch/Stateful_PVC$ minikube kubectl -- patch pod busybox-1 --type='json' -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/volumes/0/persistentVolumeClaim/claimName", "value": "busybox-pvc-1"}]' The Pod "busybox-1" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: pod updates may not change fields other than spec.containers[].image,spec.initContainers[].image,spec.activeDeadlineSeconds,spec.tolerations (only additions to existing tolerations),spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds` (allow it to be set to 1 if it was previously negative)
core.PodSpec{
Volumes: []core.Volume{
{
Name: "busybox-storage",
VolumeSource: core.VolumeSource{
... // 7 identical fields
ISCSI: nil,
Glusterfs: nil,
PersistentVolumeClaim: &core.PersistentVolumeClaimVolumeSource{

•   			ClaimName: "busybox-pvc-0",
  

•   			ClaimName: "busybox-pvc-1",
    			ReadOnly:  false,
    		},
    		RBD:     nil,
    		Quobyte: nil,
    		... // 18 identical fields
    	},
    },
    {Name: "kube-api-access-jzfbk", VolumeSource: {Projected: &{Sources: {{ServiceAccountToken: &{ExpirationSeconds: 3607, Path: "token"}}, {ConfigMap: &{LocalObjectReference: {Name: "kube-root-ca.crt"}, Items: {{Key: "ca.crt", Path: "ca.crt"}}}}, {DownwardAPI: &{Items: {{Path: "namespace", FieldRef: &{APIVersion: "v1", FieldPath: "metadata.namespace"}}}}}}, DefaultMode: &420}}},
  

  },
  InitContainers: nil,
  Containers: {{Name: "busybox", Image: "busybox", Command: {"/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 3600"}, VolumeMounts: {{Name: "busybox-storage", MountPath: "/mnt/data"}, {Name: "kube-api-access-jzfbk", ReadOnly: true, MountPath: "/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount"}}, ...}},
  ... // 30 identical fields
  }`

So how to do this working for set each pod in the StatefulSet should be manually assigned a specific PVC without use volumeClaimTemplates.

busybox-0 → busybox-pvc-0
busybox-1 → busybox-pvc-1
busybox-2 → busybox-pvc-2
