### Expanding Persistent Volumes Claims
|
||||
|
||||
With Kubernetes 1.8, we have added Alpha support for expanding persistent volumes. The current Alpha support was designed to only support volume types
|
||||
that don't need file system resizing (Currently only glusterfs).
|
||||
Kubernetes 1.8 added Alpha support for expanding persistent volumes. In v1.9, the following volume types support expanding Persistent volume claims:
|
||||
|
||||
* gcePersistentDisk
|
||||
* awsElasticBlockStore
|
||||
* Cinder
|

* glusterfs
|

* rbd

Administrator can allow expanding persistent volume claims by setting `ExpandPersistentVolumes` feature gate to true. Administrator

should also enable [`PersistentVolumeClaimResize` admission plugin](/docs/admin/admission-controllers/#persistentvolumeclaimresize)

Under no circumstances a new `PersistentVolume` gets created to satisfy the claim. Kubernetes will attempt to resize existing volume to satisfy the claim.

|

For expanding volumes containing a file system, file system resizing is only performed when a new Pod is started using the `PersistentVolumeClaim` in
|
||||
ReadWrite mode. In other words, if a volume being expanded is used in a pod or deployment, you will need to delete and recreate the pod for file system
|
||||
resizing to take place. Also, file system resizing is only supported for following file system types:
|
||||
|
||||
* XFS
|
||||
* Ext3, Ext4
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Expanding EBS volumes is a time consuming operation. Also, there is a per-volume quota of one modification every 6 hours.
