= About block PersistentVolumes
|
|
|
|
A block PersistentVolume (PV) is a PV that is backed by a raw block device. These volumes
|
|
do not have a filesystem and can provide performance benefits for
|
|
virtual machines by reducing overhead.
|
|
|
|
Raw block volumes are provisioned by specifying `volumeMode: Block` in the
|
|
PV and PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) specification.
