I am not sure if my expectation is correct, but I would assume for Local Node Path persistent storage that I would see a ‘/storage’ directory created on the node especially since Rancher says everything is OK. However, this is not the case. Is this being created relative to somewhere else?

Not a totally researched answer but it may point you to some direction - I remember reading some release notes from Docker to the effect that at some point, Docker stopped creating the local path for volumes… I could be wrong but I have this vague recollection.

Looking at the API view and what the delete command is saying is:

`waiting on foregroundDeletion`

Seems like a bug that k8s has to wait on rancher?

Well, per workaround [here](http://forums.suse.com/t/pods-stuck-while-in-removing-state/10755/6?u=2devnull), I got it deleted without having to run does destructive cleanup scripts.

i.e. I edited the persistentvolumeclaim yaml and removed these two lines:

```auto
finalizers:
- foregroundDeletion

```
