Adding morethan 1 TB Storage

I have a vmware cluster and i have a petasan nfs mount. i cannot add more than 1 TB petasan nfs storage to that VM

1) What version of PetaSAN are you using ?
2) From the NFS Exports page, does the export have a quota assigned ? if so edit this and re-mount.
3) From the Pools page, what is the available size for the cephfs data/layout pool ?
4) Can you mount the nfs export on local PetaSAN nfs node, example:
mkdir /mnt/test
mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4.1,proto=tcp [PublicIP]:/[ExportName] /mnt/test
what does df show on /mnt/test

  1. Used Version 3.1.0
  2. Yes quota assigned.Edited and remount successfully.but same issue happened.
  3. Cephfs data available size is 121.51 TB
  4.      filesystem                  |   type   |  size  |  use  |  avail  |  use%    |  Mount on

public IP:/Export Name |  nfs4    | 4.9T  |    0    | 4.9T   |   0%      |  /mnt/test

So the mount from Linux is not limited to 1 TB ?

NO

so the linux mount test works.

YES

The problem happened when we are trying to add more than 1TB petasan storage disk  to VMware virtual machine.

Ok so this is not an issue on PetaSAN side.

What was the initial quota on the share before you changed it ? maybe vmware cached it ? if you start a new share and new datastore, does it also show issue ?

Is the 1 TB limit seen at the datastore level ? or the datastore size is fine but is it a limit on the vm ? or is it a limit on a single vmdk disk ? please give more detail.

what version of vmware are you using ?

was the datastore mounted as NFS 4 or 3 ?

any update on this?
