Mounting PVC into Workspace within Subpath

[maheshrajrp]

Summary

Hi,

I'm trying mount a PVC with certain files and folders into a workspace, using subPath concept in the deployment yaml. I need this feature because I'm trying to mount multiple folders into the workspace from a single-pvc. Any suggestion ?

Please note the PV and PVC is created manually. I don't want che creating the PVC as I'm trying to use pre-created Azure Files.

Is it possible ?

Relevant information

I've used this as reference: https://eclipse.dev/che/docs/stable/end-user-guide/requesting-persistent-storage-for-workspaces/

However, it a creates a volumentMount something like this
- mountPath: /pod
name: azurefile

I need a way to create something like,
- mountPath: /pod
name: azurefile
subPath: subdirectory

Hello, @maheshrajrp
Unfortunately, subPath is not supported for automount pvcs [1].
But I don't see any issues to implement that.
