Unable to mount volume with XFS filesystem when filesystem is full 100% on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Persistent Volumes formatted with xfs filesystem and filled by 100% are failing to mount into containers, causing the entire pod to fail during creation time.
  • Backup, using OADP is failing because the associated persistent volume is filled by 100% and formatted with xfs filesystem.
  • We are seeing below events reported when trying to start a pod that is mounting a full, xfs formatted volume.
