falcon-sensor /opt/CrowdStrike error #493

Description

@jaredcdep

Hello

I am setting up falcon-sensor on our AWS EKS based clusters using the daemonset.
The daemonset seems to deploy, but there are hundreds of lines in the logs indicating an issue with the /opt/CrowdStrike volume/folder

If I describe the running pod or daemonset the init-falconstore container only shows a mount for the service account but https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/init-containers/#differences-from-regular-containers indicates that they share volumes.
If I inspect other pods that use init containers they seem to indicate a volume mount on both the init and normal container

I have noted other issues here where the container image was used instead of the sensor one, but I double checked the above flag for falcon-sensor

Any advice would be appretiated
