Mounting volume resulting empty folder in kubernetes minikube? - kubernetes

Question

I have created a deployment and I wanted to mount the host path to the container, and when I check the container I see only empty folder.
Why am I getting this error? What can be the cause?
EDIT: I am using Windows OS.
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: myservicepod6
labels:
app: servicepod
spec:
replicas: 1

containers:
- name: php
image: php:7.2-apache
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
args: ["service apache2 start; sleep infinity"]
ports:
- name: serviceport
containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /var/www/html/
name: hostvolume
volumes:
- name: hostvolume
hostPath:
path: /C/Users/utkarsh/pentesting/learnings/kubernetes/app/objectmanagement/deployments/src/*
EDIT FOR THE ANSWER -
I start the minkube - minikube start --mount-string="$HOME/test/src/code/file:/data"
Then I changed the deployment file like below
Showing only volume part
spec:
volumes:
- name: hostvolume
hostPath:
path: /C/Users/utkarsh/pentesting/learnings/kubernetes/app/deployments/src
containers:
- name: php
image: php:7.2-apache
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
args: ["service apache2 start; sleep infinity"]
ports:
- name: serviceport
containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: hostvolume
mountPath: /test/src/code/file
When I log into the pod and went to the directory (/test/src/code/file) I found the directory empty
let me know what am I missing?

After a detailed search and hit and trial method - Found the way
Only for minikube:-
First we need to mount the host folder into the directory name:
minikube mount src/:/var/www/html
Then we need to define hostPath and mountPath as
/var/www/html
Because now we have mount the folder to html folder.
volumes:
- name: hostvolume
hostPath:
path: /var/www/html
containers:
- name: php
image: php:7.2-apache
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
args: ["service apache2 start; sleep infinity"]
workingDir: /var/www/html
ports:
- name: serviceport
containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: hostvolume
mountPath: /var/www/html
