WaitForFirstConsumer PersistentVolumeClaim waiting for first consumer to be created before binding

The app is waiting for the Pod, while the Pod is waiting for a PersistentVolume by a PersistentVolumeClaim.
However, the PersistentVolume should be prepared by the user before using.

My previous YAMLs are lack of a PersistentVolume like this:

kind: PersistentVolume
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: postgres-data
  labels:
    type: local
spec:
  storageClassName: local-storage
  capacity:
    storage: 1Gi
  local:
    path: /data/postgres
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: local-storage
  nodeAffinity:
    required:
      nodeSelectorTerms:
        - matchExpressions:
          - key: app
            operator: In
            values:
              - postgres

The local path /data/postgres should be prepared before using.
Kubernetes will not create it automatically.
