How can I check whether K8s volume was mounted correctly? - kubernetes

Question

I'm testing out whether I can mount data from S3 using initContainer. What I intended and expected was same volume being mounted to both initContainer and Container. Data from S3 gets downloaded using InitContainer to mountPath called /s3-data, and as the Container is run after the initContainer, it can read from the path the volume was mounted to.
However, the Container doesn't show me any logs, and just says 'stream closed'. The initContainer shows logs that data were successfully downloaded from S3.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

You can try like the below mentioned the argument part

-
args:
- cd /s3-data;
echo "Just s3-data dir";
ls;
echo "After making a sample file";
touch sample.txt;
ls;
command:
- /bin/sh
- -c
image: "<My Image>"
