@TheNumenorean , could you precise which K8s provider you are trying to use? To me, such a message is related on how the PV is managed by your cluster. Perhaps you have to change the storage class to use for the PV.

Thats a fair point, I am using docker desktop kubernetes. And adding global:storageClass: hostpath does avoid the problem. To me, it seems odd that it would change the setting value on an update without any external changes,
