When splunk starts it seems to try and chown the config files (ie. web.conf) to whatever user splunk is currently running as. This causes an issue with Kubernetes deployments.
When you mount configuration files through a ConfigMap it mounts the volumes as read only owned by root. This would still allow non-root processes to read. However when splunk tries to start the chown fails, causing the container to fail as well.
Is there a flag to disable chown-ing config files on start, or is this something than can be put in a change request and removed form startup all together?
