When performing a kubernetes upgrade with the command

an error occurs "failed upgrading kubelet: error updating node "X.X.X.X": error patching node config: error fetching config resource: "VolumeConfig" "v1alpha1": not registered when updating Kubernetes"

Environment

• Kubernetes version: v1.30.3

Most probably you're using outdated talosctl.

Most probably you're using outdated talosctl.

Maybe it's worth breaking the talosctl invocation when server [major.minor] version > talosctl [major.minor] version ? Such invocation is most times incorrect or even dangerous.

Thank you. Updated talosctl to the latest version, upgrade worked
