Hi, I'm running Elastic on K8S and Docker, all my container running fine.

But I'm specifying data volume during deployment Vol "/xyz/data0" . but it's not storing data on this location its storing on default location "/var/lib/docker" .

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,  
Sadeek M.

I have changed docker and Kubelet configuration file and added below entry and it worked

Docker :  
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service  
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -D --data-root /data/docker

Kubelet :  
cat /etc/sysconfig/kubelet  
KUBELET\_EXTRA\_ARGS=--root-dir=/data/kubelet
