Expanding System Disk Capacity
EulerOS 2.9 is used as the sample OS. There is only one partition (/dev/vda1) with a capacity of 50 GiB in the system disk /dev/vda, and then 50 GiB is added to the system disk. In this example, the additional 50 GiB is allocated to the existing /dev/vda1 partition.
- Expand the system disk capacity on the EVS console.
Only the storage capacity of the EVS disk is expanded. You also need to perform the following steps to expand the partition and file system.
- Log in to the node and run the growpart command to check whether growpart has been installed.
If the tool operation guide is displayed, the growpart has been installed. Otherwise, run the following command to install growpart:
yum install cloud-utils-growpart
- Run the following command to view the total capacity of the system disk /dev/vda:
fdisk -l
If the following information is displayed, the total capacity of /dev/vda is 100 GiB.
[root@test-48162 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 100 GiB, 107374182400 bytes, 209715200 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x78d88f0b Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/vda1 * 2048 104857566 104855519 50G 83 Linux Disk /dev/vdb: 100 GiB, 107374182400 bytes, 209715200 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/vgpaas-dockersys: 90 GiB, 96632569856 bytes, 188735488 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/vgpaas-kubernetes: 10 GiB, 10733223936 bytes, 20963328 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

- Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster. In the navigation pane, choose Nodes. Click More > Sync Server Data in the row containing the target node.
Expanding Data Disk Capacity
The first data disk of a CCE node is composed of container engine and kubelet space by default. If either of them reaches full capacity, you can expand the disk space as needed.
Expanding the Container Engine Capacity
The available container engine space affects image pulls and container startup and running. This section uses containerd as an example to describe how to expand the container engine capacity.
- Expand the capacity of a data disk on the EVS console.
Only the storage capacity of the EVS disk is expanded. You also need to perform the following steps to expand the capacity of the logical volume and file system.

Expanding the Capacity of a Data Disk Used by Pod (basesize)
- Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console.
- Choose Nodes from the navigation pane.
- Click the Nodes tab, locate the row containing the target node, and choose More > Reset Node in the Operation column.
Resetting a node may make unavailable the node-specific resources (such as local storage and workloads scheduled to this node). Exercise caution when performing this operation to avoid impact on running services.
- Click Yes.
- Reconfigure node parameters.
If you need to adjust the container storage space, pay attention to the following configurations:
Storage Settings: Click Expand next to the data disk to set the following parameters:
Space Allocation for Pods: indicates the base size of a pod. It is the maximum size that a workload's pods (including the container images) can grow to in the disk space. Proper settings can prevent pods from taking all the disk space available and avoid service exceptions. It is recommended that the value is less than or equal to 80% of the container engine space. This parameter is related to the node OS and container storage rootfs and is not supported in some scenarios. For details, see Data Disk Space Allocation.
- After the node is reset, log in to the node and run the following command to access the container and check whether the container storage capacity has been expanded:
docker exec -it container_id /bin/sh or kubectl exec -it container_id /bin/sh
df -h
