Recommended action: Grow the ClickHouse volume. Kubernetes: ensure the StorageClass allows volume expansion, patch pvc data-langsmith-clickhouse-0 to the new size, update the size in the Helm values, delete the StatefulSet with --cascade=orphan, and re-apply the chart. Docker: stop, enlarge the bind mount or Docker volume. Option: Expand the ClickHouse PVC [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Kubernetes self-host Steps: 1. kubectl get pvc data-langsmith-clickhouse-0 -n <ns> -o jsonpath='{.spec.storageClassName}' 2. Ensure allowVolumeExpansion true (patch the StorageClass if possible) 3. kubectl patch pvc data-langsmith-clickhouse-0 -n <ns> with a larger storage request 4. Update the ClickHouse size in langsmith_config.yaml 5. kubectl delete statefulset langsmith-clickhouse --cascade=orphan -n <ns> 6. helm upgrade with the updated values; verify with df inside the pod Expected: ClickHouse has free space and ingestion resumes Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
