<p>Is there any way to access Google cloud Kubernetes persistent volume data without using pod. I cannot start pod due to data corruption in persistent volume. Have any command line tool or any other way.</p>

<p>If you have any concerns running a pod with any specific application, in that case, you can run the <strong>Ubuntu</strong> POD and attach that pod to the <strong>PVC</strong> and access the data.</p>
<p>There also another option to clone the PV and PVC, perform the testing, and newly created PV and PVC while the old one will work as the backup option.</p>
<p>For cloning PV and PVC you can also use the tool : <a href="https://velero.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://velero.io/</a></p>
<p>You can also attach the PVC to the POD in <strong>read-only</strong> mode and try accessing the data.</p>
