Hi very detailed article. thank for that.
Our usecase is little different.
Have RWX and Retain attributes
We are using efs-provisioner and wanted to migrate to AWS CSI EFS Driver. We added addon and defined new Storage class, PVC.
But PVC is in pending state not bound with PV.
Becase I have used old efs-id in the new Storage Class.
Looking for a solution to migrate data from existing PV(created by efs-provisioenr) to new PV(Created by AWS CSI Driver).
Can I use new efs-id in new storage class which helps PVC to PV bound and do a data copy?
Can I use Rsync or pv-migrate tool to do data copy?
Any other solution rather than deleting PVC,PV?
For migration it seems I have to unbound from existing POD(Deployment) and mount to a new POD which also has new PV mounted?
My intention is: Minimize down time, Work time, faster data copy.
