/var/opt/CrushFTP10/users is not linked to persistent volume

I've noticed that the users were deleted when I restarted my kubernetes deployment. In the container

As you can see, the folder users is not linked to /mnt/config/users. In fact, the link is created inside the folder users.

root@crushftp-7b6dc6cccd-m52br:/var/opt/CrushFTP10/users# ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47 Sep  8 06:36 MainUsers
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 62 Sep  8 06:36 extra_vfs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Sep  8 06:35 users -> /mnt/config/users

I guess the folder /var/opt/CrushFTP10/users existed before the startup script ran, so perhaps the script could rm -r /var/opt/CrushFTP10/users before creating the link?

I'm using a workaround by modifying the helm chart. I'm adding a pod post-start command to delete and link the user's folder.
