Abstract
An illustrative distributed storage system detects a request to resize an online volume that provides persistent storage for a containerized application running in a container system, wherein the online volume is backed by a virtual block device created in device namespace using a device mapper virtualization of data blocks of one or more storage devices. The distributed storage system performs, in response to the request, a resize process to resize the online volume. The resizing of the online volume includes resizing the virtual block device. In some examples, a file system implemented on the virtual block device is also resized while the online volume is online. The storage system may manage inflight IOs over the virtual block device and the online volume such that the resize process is performed without error.
