Hi im trying to resize a disk for a pod in my kubernetes cluster,following the steps on the docs, i ssh in to the instance node to follow the steps, but its giving me an error
sudo growpart /dev/sdb 1
WARN: unknown label
failed [sfd_dump:1] sfdisk --unit=S --dump /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: device contains a valid 'ext4' signature; it is strongly recommended to wipe the device with wipefs(8)
if this is unexpected, in order to avoid possible collisions
sfdisk: failed to dump partition table: Success
FAILED: failed to dump sfdisk info for /dev/sdb
i try running the commands from inside the pod but doesnt even locate the disk even tho its there
root@rc-test-r2cfg:/# df -h

root@rc-test-r2cfg:/# growpart /dev/sdb 1

where /dev/sdb is the disk location
This can now be easily done by updating the storage specification directly of the Persistent Volume Claim. See these posts for reference:
