Snapshot volume stuck on restoring

Questions / Help
1

After I ran the command

fly volumes create data \
  --snapshot-id vs_blahblahblahblah \
  --size 10 \
  -a app_name

The volume status is stuck on restoring.

Hm… What does fly vol list say, in full, at the moment?

Two hours… I would try restoring into a different region. It sounds like there might be isolated network problems in the system right now.

(Snapshot restores download from S3, I believe.)

Hi @Paste,

That restore hit an error because there was insufficient space. It’s a snapshot of a 35GB volume, but the volume you’re restoring to is only 10GB.

If you change the --size to 35 (or don’t specify a size) the restore should succeed.

I’ll look into why we don’t validate the size upfront, and also what we can do improve error reporting here.

We’ve improved the validation here: there’s now a useful error message if volume is too small for the snapshot.
