mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/pgsql/data/userdata': Permission denied

Looks like maybe an issue writing to the persistent volume.

Application is not exposed. You can expose services to the outside world by executing one or more of the commands below:
'oc expose svc/postgresql-master'
'oc expose svc/postgresql-slave'

Expected Result

Additional Information

[try to run $ oc adm diagnostics (or oadm diagnostics) command if possible]
[if you are reporting issue related to builds, provide build logs with BUILD_LOGLEVEL=5]
[consider attaching output of the $ oc get all -o json -n <namespace> command to the issue]

Seems likely to be an issue with whatever/however PVs are configured in the test cluster, or getting the permissions set correctly when the volume is mounted to the pod.

[bparees]

The PV is actually created by the test itself:
https://github.com/openshift/origin/blob/master/test/extended/util/framework.go#L1079-L1122

and we did have to change the chcon rules at some point to ensure it was writable, but assuming this is only failing intermittently, that should not be the issue here.

@coreydaley I don't see the error you quoted (cannot create directory) in the logs you linked.
