Answer 1

You are creating the docker container directly on the master node. As a result of this you could be able to run docker container with the newly created directory. But when you launch the kubernetes yaml file, it intends to run on a worker node. Since you create the directory on the master node, kubelet cannot find directory on worker node and failing. That's why "DirectoryorCreate" value on type flag is a kind of solution for this.
