Mysql container crash when deploying on GKE

[idkw]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy this image with the following kubernetes files :

kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: mysql-data
  annotations:
    volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class: ssd
spec:
  accessModes: [ReadWriteOnce]
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 50Gi

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: mysql
  labels:
    name: mysql
spec:
  hostname: mysql
  containers:
    - image: launcher.gcr.io/google/mysql8
      name: mysql
      env:
        - name: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
          value: test
        - name: MYSQL_DATABASE
          value: test
        - name: MYSQL_USER
          value: test
        - name: MYSQL_PASSWORD
          value: test

      volumeMounts:
        - name: mysql-data
          mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
  volumes:
    - name: mysql-data
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: mysql-data

When the container is deployed, the mysql server starts and then crash immediately. The logs are :

I see that it crashes with :

2019-11-28T16:39:29.867329Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-013236] [Server] The designated data directory /var/lib/mysql/ is unusable. You can remove all files that the server added to it.

I haven't found any relevant solution to this issue. When launching the container locally on my machine I don't get that issue. Is there some kind of file permission issue on GCP persistent volumes claims ?
