+# Local path provisioner
+
+Rancher's `local-path-storage` storage class enables dynamic provisioning of
+persistent volumes on Kubernetes worker.
+
+```
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/master/deploy/local-path-storage.yaml -O
+kubectl apply -n local-path-storage -f local-path-storage.yaml
+```
+
+# Known issues
+
+* No volume stats exported via `kubelet_volume_stats_used_bytes` metric
+* No capacity limit imposed. Not possible with ext4 filesystem,
+  with [XFS might be possible](https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/tree/master/examples/quota)
+* No easy way to back up the volumes
+
+Possible alternatives:
+
+* Longhorn with no redundancy
+* [metal-stack/csi-lvm](https://github.com/metal-stack/csi-lvm)
