I’ve done this previously starting .28 (or maybe .27) no issues. The config I have is basically the same but deployed to a different kubernetes cluster.

What is going on here? how do I get this working correctly?

Hello,  
One possible cause of this would be that the new deployment was not deployed in a clean namespace. Can you delete the namespace and attempt to redeploy while recording those steps. If you are able to reproduce please create an issue for that with the steps for how you reproduced it.

I’m using argocd and it hadn’t deleted the pvs. All sorted now.
