@jenting this is an interesting one.
In this PR it longer crashes: #9475
But, it still fails with context deadline.
PVC is stuck in pending:
no persistent volumes available for this claim and no storage class is set
But looking at storage classes:

kubectl get storageclass
NAME                   PROVISIONER             RECLAIMPOLICY   VOLUMEBINDINGMODE      ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION   AGE
local-path (default)   rancher.io/local-path   Delete          WaitForFirstConsumer   false                  24h

It seems like local-path one is supposed to be a default one (meaning if PVC doesn't specify storage class, it should use that one). Though it doesn't seem to be the case.

🤔

To fix this test in dev env, I think it will be best to do it as part of this task then: #10017
