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.
