Redis on GKE is running out of disk space - redis

Question

I just installed redis (actually a reinstall and upgrade) on GKE via helm. It was a pretty standard install and nothing too out of the norm. Unfortunately my "redis-master" container logs are showing sync errors over and over again:

I then looked at my persistent volume claim specification "redis-data" and it is in the "Pending" Phase and never seems to get out of that phase. If I look at all my PVCs though then they are all bound and appear to be healthy.
Clearly something isn't as healthy as it seems but I am not sure how to diagnose. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

i know it late to the party but to add more if any of get stuck into the same scenario and can't delete the PVC they can increase size of the PVC in GKE.
Check storageclass :
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
…
provisioner: kubernetes.io/gce-pd
allowVolumeExpansion: true
Edit the PVC
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 10Gi
Field that you need to update in PVC
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests: <== make sure in requests section
storage: 30Gi <=========
Once changes are applied for PVC and saved just Restart the POD now.

Answer 2

So I was pretty close on the heels of it, in my case when I uninstalled redis it didn't remove the PVC (which makes some sense) and then when I reinstalled it tried to use the same PVC.
Unfortunately, that pvc had run out of memory.
I was able to manually delete the PVC's that previously existed (we didn't need to keep the data) and then reinstall redis via helm. At that point, it created new PVC's and worked fine.
