<p>I'm starting out with K8s and I'm stuck at setting up mongo db in replica set mode with local persistent volume. I'm using StorageClass, PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim.</p>
<pre><code>vincenzocalia@vincenzos-MacBook-Air server-node % kubectl get pv
NAME       CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   RECLAIM POLICY   STATUS      CLAIM   STORAGECLASS    REASON   AGE
mongo-pv   1Gi        RWO            Retain           Available           mongo-storage            24m
</code></pre>
<p>but when inspect the pod I get</p>
<pre><code>  Type     Reason            Age   From               Message
  ----     ------            ----  ----               -------
  Warning  FailedScheduling  2m    default-scheduler  0/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't find available persistent volumes to bind. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling.

<p>This post answer <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/70069138/2704032">https://stackoverflow.com/a/70069138/2704032</a> confirmed my suspect that I might be using the wrong label..
So I had a look at the PV and I see that as I've set nodeAffinity as</p>
<pre><code>nodeAffinity:
    required:
      nodeSelectorTerms:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: kubernets.io/hostname
              operator: In
              values:
                - docker-desktop

</code></pre>
<p>it's looking for</p>
<pre><code>Node Affinity:     
  Required Terms:  
    Term 0:        kubernets.io/hostname in [docker-desktop]
</code></pre>
<p>I checked  nodes with <code>kubectl get nodes --show-labels</code>
and it does have that label as the output shows</p>
<pre><code>NAME             STATUS   ROLES           AGE    VERSION   LABELS
docker-desktop   Ready    control-plane   7d9h   v1.24.1   beta.kubernetes.io/arch=arm64,beta.kubernetes.io/os=linux,kubernetes.io/arch=arm64,kubernetes.io/hostname=docker-desktop,kubernetes.io/os=linux,node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane=,node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers=


</code></pre>
<p>I tried using volumeClaimTemplate in the StatefulSet as</p>
<pre><code>volumeClaimTemplates:
    - metadata:
        name: mongo-vctemplate
      spec:
        storageClassName: mongo-storage
        accessModes: 
          - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 1Gi  
</code></pre>
<p>but it didn't make a difference..I also tried to specify the pic in the pv with the claimRef parameter but still the insidious error comes up at pod creation..</p>
<p>What else can I check or do I need to setup?
Many thanks as usual
Here are my yaml files</p>

<p>It is a typo in <code>kubernets.io/hostname</code>. It should be <code>kubernetes.io/hostname</code> in the pv definition.</p>
<p>similar to this one:
