Maybe you're having a write permission issue with Virtualbox mounting those host folders. Instead, use /data/postgres as a path and things will work.

Minikube automatically persists the following directories so they will be preserved even if your VM is rebooted/recreated:

• /data
• /var/lib/localkube
• /var/lib/docker
