<p>I have mounted a emptyDir volume with memory medium to a pod. Then I logged into the pod and tried to create a file in that volume path but I got a permission denied error.   </p>

<pre><code>touch a.txt
touch: cannot touch `a.txt': Permission denied
</code></pre>

<p>User I used is root. What could be the reason for that?</p>

<p>Add :z or :Z as a workaround to your mount path to work properly with selinux:</p>

<pre><code>volumeMounts:
- name: etcd-storage
  mountPath: /var/etcd/data:z
</code></pre>
