Scaleway doesn't allow you to add more SSDs #4

Closed norbert-yoimo closed 6 years ago

norbert-yoimo commented 7 years ago

I was about to set up persistent volumes for my cluster, but it looks like scaleway doesn't allow you to add more than 50GB storage to a single instance. If you try to start your instance with more than 50GB storage attached, you will get an error:

The total volume size of VC1S instances must be equal or below 50GB

I think it's worth mentioning in the README that PVs are not a possibility on scaleway (haven't tried digital ocean yet).

Please see this issue: https://github.com/scaleway/image-tools/issues/184

You can in fact attach further disks (more than 50GB in total), but it's currently almost impossible to automate it using Terraform. I ended up creating a 30GB Ubuntu image which can be used to attach another 20GB disk. Unfortunately, images cannot be shared publicly and the process to create one is just awful. Please consider adding a comment to the issue mentioned above.

Right, attaching the disks is fine, however, you cannot start the instance, if you have more than 50 GB attached. As soon as you remove the attached volumes, and you are below 50GB, you can start the instance again. Probably terraform is also running into this.

That's unfortunate, I didn't know such restrictions exist. This leaves us with the following options for now:

I will close this issue. Scaleway has been a pain to work with and support is basically nonexistent. I'm planning to give the crown to Hetzner Cloud soon. See #28
