Finalizer

Ref.: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-pv-persistent-volume-pvc-claim-get-stuck-state-due-nguyen-duc/

Even though the PV appears in Terminating status, its actual status is still Bound, the finalizer relies on deletionTimestamp and deletionGracePeriodSeconds fields inside metadata to fulfill its purpose.

View terminating status:

kubectl get pv

To remove a finalizer from a PVC, use the following command as an example:

kubectl patch pvc pv-claim-name -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'
