PostgreSQL is crash-looping with could not write to file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.30": No space left on device.
I resized the volume from 500MB → 5GB → 10GB (Pro plan), did multiple redeploys, but the filesystem is NOT extending. PostgreSQL still
sees the old 500MB limit.
- Volume ID: vol_vr3g0w4tmfof7bq1
- Volume name: postgres-1af2-volume
- Service: database
- Project: Q-mon
- Region: EU West (Amsterdam)
- Storage shown: 495MB/10GB but pg still gets "No space left"
The redo recovery completes successfully (redo done at 1/88FFFBE0) but then fails writing pg_wal/xlogtemp because the filesystem hasn't
expanded.
This is production — need help ASAP.

Hey, the volume resize to 10 GB didn't fully apply on the backend, which is why PostgreSQL was still seeing the old 500 MB limit and running out of space. We've corrected this and redeployed your database service. You should now have the full 10 GB available.
We've also shipped a fix to prevent this from happening on future volume resizes.
