Can't persist storage var/opt - var/log

Summary

I'm unable to persist storage of the var/*/gitlab path into a kubernetes local cluster. If I comment out the storage monthPath for the /var/ folders the installation works perfectly fine. Similar to this issue #3432 but on kubernetes.

Steps to reproduce

CentOS 7 enviroment, rbac enable. Storage permission chown kubernetesUser:kubernetesUser /folder External Postgres database.
