Host Directory Not Showing Files From Kubernetes Persistent Volume Claim

Question

I am migrating an application that consists of 1 or more tomcat servers and 1 or more wildfly servers to k8s. I have it up and working with a deployments for tomcat and wildfly with a clusterIP for each. I am now trying to combine log files from the multiple nodes into a single log directory on the host (for now single host deployment). I have created a PVC with the following yaml files:

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: local-storage
provisioner: kubernetes.io/no-provisioner
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
reclaimPolicy: Delete

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: local-pv
spec:
  storageClassName: local-storage
  capacity:
    storage: 10Gi
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteMany
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
  hostPath:
    path: /C/k8s/local-pv/logs

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: local-claim
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: local-storage
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 2Gi

I have the tomcat deployment mapped to the voles by:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: tomcat-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      component: tomcat-deployment
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        component: tomcat
    spec:
      initContainers:
      - name: volume-mount-hack
        image: busybox
        command: ["sh", "-c", "chmod -R 777 /usr/local/tomcat/logs"]
        volumeMounts:
        - name: local-persistent-storage
          mountPath: /usr/local/tomcat/logs
      containers:
        - name: tomcat
          image: tomcat-full:latest 
          volumeMounts:
          - name: local-persistent-storage
            mountPath: /usr/local/tomcat/logs
            subPath: tomcat  
      volumes:
          - name: local-persistent-storage
            persistentVolumeClaim:
              claimName: local-claim

I startup all the components and the system is functioning as expected. However, when I look in the host directory C/k8s/local-pv/logs/tomcat, no files are showing. I connect to the tomcat pod with docker exec and I see the log files from both tomcat servers. The files shown in the /usr/local/tomcat/logs survive a deployment restart so I know they are written somewhere. I searched my entire hard drive and the files are not anywhere.

I checked the pvc, pv, and storage class

kubectl describe pvc local-claim

kubectl get storageclass local-storage

What piece am I missing? It appears that the local storage class is not bound to a volume claim and tomcat application.
