Resizing PVC

[realSaltyFish]

It seems that this provisioner currently does not support resizing existing PVC's. Would you consider adding support for that?

Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "test-service" with kind PersistentVolumeClaim: persistentvolumeclaims "test-service" is forbidden: only dynamically provisioned pvc can be resized and the storageclass that provisions the pvc must support resize

Hi. I'm actually not even sure if that's supported by the library used, https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-storage-lib-external-provisioner/ I couldn't find out if the Interface I have to implement, calls Provision when resizing the volume, the controller would have to watch each PVC and I don't think it does that. This issue here https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-storage-lib-external-provisioner/issues/43 also talks about volume expansion, and if the featureset hasn't changed in the meantime regarding resizing, it doesn't look like resizing is an option.

I would have to do some tests to verify that (or you could do it on your own by creating a storageclass that fakes resizing support), but I probably don't have time the next few weeks.

Hi @ccremer , any update on this issue? There is another zfs provisioner (https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv/) that do expansion, but have no NFS sharing. I think you could look at their repo and figure out how to implement the expansion.

Hi @wtayyeb No, nothing new on this issue I'm afraid. zfs-localpv is implemented using CSI, this provisioner isn't as it was created before CSI was a thing.

If you don't mind, I'm actually closing this issue. I personally don't have the need for resizing, so I'm not going to spend my spare time into something I don't need. I'm happy to review and accept PRs if anyone is contributing though.
