关键内容：
Both use local disks available on a machine. But! Imagine you have a cluster of three machines and have a Deployment with a replica of 1. If your pod is scheduled on node A, writes to a host path, then the pod is destroyed. At this point the scheduler will need to create a new pod, and this pod might be scheduled to node C which doesn‘t have the data. Oops!

Local volumes fix this by ensuring a pod is scheduled to the machine where the data exists.
