In the last weeks I used microk8s to create a cluster on some raspberryPis. After setting ist up with Longhorn and some monitoring applications like Grafana, Prometheus etc., I wanted to switch to dynamic volume provision. So I started an NFS Server and installed the NFS Provisioner ([GitHub - kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner: Dynamic sub-dir volume provisioner on a remote NFS server.](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner)) into the cluster. My goal was to achieve that after pod restarts the volumes on the nfs Server automatically get attached to the new pod. So I set the reclaimPolicy on Retain and used the same Labels in PVC and Deployment, but now every time the NFS Provider creates a new Volume on the Server instead of using the old. I would appreciate your help and here my code thank you.
