Elasticsearch Datase

Hello everyone,

I need some help for a discussion:

I have an Elasticsearch cluster running with three nodes: node 1, node 2, and node 3.

  • Node 1 is the master node

  • Node 2 is the hot node

  • Node 3 is the warm node

Currently, node 2's storage is almost full at 97%.

I decided to add more storage from ESXi because I still have 1TB of free storage there.

After mounting the new storage to node 2, I accidentally ran fdisk /dev/sdb and wrote to it.

Without realizing, /dev/sdb was already part of an LVM, which caused the LVM to go missing.

However, Elasticsearch is still running normally at this moment.

My question is: what is the impact if I run

sudo vgreduce --removemissing --force ubuntu-vg

considering that /var/lib/elasticsearch is also on the same volume group?

If I run that command, will Elasticsearch crash?
