helm deployed nextcloud make CNPG deployed postgres stop due to low disk space
Describe your Issue
I am using helm to deploy a nextcloud app but sometime it fails and can not restart normally.
after some digs, I found that it's because the database, i.e. postgres failed. the postgres failed due to an error of low disk space which means it consumed all the available space in pvc. However, the space is as large as 100GB, I think it's quite large enough.
when I expand the disk, the pg and nextcloud will recovery and I checked the recovered postgres, it used less than 1GB data. what's more, after 1-2 weeks, the same thing occurred again, I have to expand the storage again. and 2 weeks later, the same thing occurred again.
I am using the project of cnpg to deploy a postgres of 3 intances. https://cloudnative-pg.io/
