<p>I had a broken mongo container that was not initializing, and I suspected that I could fix it by cleaning all the storage. So, I deleted the persistent storage being used, but now, every new storage that I create is in the &quot;Lost&quot; phase, and it's not found by in the mongo's POD creation.</p>
<p>This is the .yml file that I'm using to create the PV:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  annotations:
    pv.kubernetes.io/bind-completed: &quot;yes&quot;
    pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller: &quot;yes&quot;
    volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: standard
    volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
  creationTimestamp: &quot;2018-08-11T09:19:29Z&quot;

    environment: test
    role: mongo

<p>This is the error that I get when restarting the mongo POD:</p>
<pre><code>error while running &quot;VolumeBinding&quot; filter plugin for pod &quot;mongo-db-0&quot;: could not find v1.PersistentVolume &quot;pvc-a68de459-9d47-11e8-84b1-42010a800135&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>I already tryied changing the PV name and ids, but it didn't work.</p>

<p>It looks like you use a manifest that binds to a specific PV.</p>
<p>How about if you remove the unique fields and let the cluster dynamically provision a new PV for you?</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  labels:
    environment: test
    role: mongo
  name: mongo-persistent-storage-mongo-db-0
  namespace: default
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 20Gi
  volumeMode: Filesystem
</code></pre>
