Hi All ,

I have used FIleBeat docker image and created a daemon set on our Openshift cluster and gave necessary permissions to run as a privileged container as per documentation.  
Here is my volume and volume mount section. Basically we are mounting /host/var/lib/pods from hostpath to /var/lib/pods so we can harvest the PVC logs.

But when POD comes up , it fails with the error stating as below. not sure , why kubelet/container trying to create /host directory. Underlying OS is Redhat Core OS which is immutable. Does that cause any issues or any one faced this earlier ?
