Solution

1. Describe the PVC and determine the issue

   kubectl describe pvc orange-pvc-cka13-trb
   

   Note the message “requested PV is too small”. We must adjust the PVC to fit

2. Describe the PV and determine its properties. Note that PVC properties must be adjusted to match

   kubectl describe pv orange-pv-cka13-trb
   

3. Adjust the PVC. Note that you cannot directly edit a PVC size to be smaller, so we have to replace it.

   kubectl get pvc orange-pvc-cka13-trb -o yaml  > pvc.yaml
   vi pvc.yaml
   

   Change the requested size to match the size of the PV. Save and exit vi, then replace the PVC with the edited manifest:

   kubectl replace --force -f pvc.yaml
