Volume shows 5005MB used /

250,000MB total, but Postgres

crash-loops on every startup

with:

FATAL: could not write to

file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.30": No

space left on device

This is a known issue where the volume resize did not propagate to the underlying filesystem, so Postgres still sees the old size limit despite the dashboard showing 250GB. We're working on getting the filesystem expanded for your volume, which will require a brief intervention on our side. We'll follow up here once it's done.

Hi! We've already expanded the filesystem on this volume and redeployed your Postgres service — the fix was applied via your other thread. You should now have the full 250 GB available. Let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

We took another look at this volume and it's showing 250 GB available on our end. Could you share what you're seeing that indicates it's still at 5 GB? A screenshot of the error or the output you're referencing would be helpful.
