Is there a way to automatically remove claimRef from PersistentVolume after PVC has been deleted? I’m trying to create a pool of reusable cache volumes, but the problem is that claimRef prevents reuse of PVs after pod and its PVC have been deleted.

I found there a solution as reference from stackflow which mention to remove

clainRef

with

kubectl patch pv <pv-name> --type json -p '[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/claimRef"}]

Hope it can help you.

@narrow-egg-98197 Thanks. Yea, I found about that approach too. However, it is very inconvenient as I would like to remove it automatically. Apparently there’s no such functionality in k8s 🤔

yeah, i also found there were related discussion here in the Kubernetes repository but seems there is no functional method to clean claimRef field to reuse the PVC.
