Sharing volume between multiple pods on the same node

Hi,

I have a pod with a PersistentVolumeClaim. I would like run a job which requires access to the same volume - like zipping files, taking a backup, etc. Is it a supported scenario to start additional pods using the same PersistentVolumeClaim that is using the ReadWriteOnce access mode? (e.g. An EBS volume) Will Kubernetes schedule such pods correctly? Is it an OK thing to do in the first place?

I couldn’t find an answer in the documentation about this.

Thanks.
