Updating a file storage

Written by

Updated at October 17, 2024

After creating a file storage, you can change its name, description, and size.

Note

You can only change the storage size using the CLI or API. You can only change the storage size by increasing it. You cannot decrease it.

Management console

CLI

Terraform

API

In the management console, select the folder where your file storage is located.
Select Compute Cloud.
In the left-hand panel, select File storages.
In the appropriate file storage row, click and select Edit.
Change the file storage parameters, e.g., rename it by editing the Name field.

Note

You can only change the storage size using the CLI or API.
Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

View the description of the CLI update storage command:
- To change the name, description, or size:
```
yc compute filesystem update --help
```
- To change the size:
```
yc compute filesystem resize --help
```

Get a list of available storages:

yc compute filesystem list --format yaml

Result:

- id: epd0u6h8lh41********
  folder_id: b1g86q4m5vej********
  created_at: "2022-04-26T16:59:19Z"
...
  size: "1073741824"
  block_size: "4096"
  status: READY

Update the storage parameters by including the --id or --name of the appropriate storage in your command. For example, update:

Name and description:

yc compute filesystem update \
  --name storage-1 \
  --new-name storage-3 \
  --description vm-storage

Result:

id: epd5g123c8hk********
folder_id: b1g86q4m5vej********
created_at: "2022-04-26T16:37:30Z"
...
size: "1073741824"
block_size: "4096"
status: READY

Size:

yc compute filesystem resize \
  --name storage-1 \
  --size 2GB

Result:

id: epd5g123c8hk********
folder_id: b1g86q4m5vej********
created_at: "2022-04-26T16:37:30Z"
...
size: "2147483648"
block_size: "4096"
status: READY

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the fragment with the storage description:
Sample storage description in the Terraform configuration
```
...
resource "yandex_compute_filesystem" "default" {
  name  = "fs-name"
  type  = "network-ssd"
  zone  = "ru-central1-a"
  size  = 150
}
...
```
Apply the changes:
1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:
```
terraform validate
```
  If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
3. Run the command:
```
terraform plan
```
  The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.
4. Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the file storage update and its new configuration using the management console or this CLI command:

yc compute filesystem get <file_storage_name>

Use the update REST API method for the Filesystem resource or the FilesystemService/Update gRPC API call.
