Suggest change in eck volume name
| - name: elastic-agent-state <1> | ||
| mountPath: /usr/share/elastic-agent/state | ||
| ``` | ||
| 1. If you are integrating this init container into {{eck}} manifests, verify the `volume` name defined in the Pod spec, which is usually `elastic-data` rather than `elastic-agent-state`. |

As per #5397 (comment) and https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/3621d102f91279baf31f9132add3b51ce3b1d0d7/pkg/controller/agent/pod.go#L56, ECK use volume "agent-data", not "elastic-data"
