I got a elasticsearch cluster with 3 nodes. Each node got a path.data (size 5T)  
Which is a virtual harddisk.

I would like to know is it possible to enlarge the disk storage by extend the virtual disk to 10T.

If it is supported by elasticsearh, what is the recommended steps

1. extend virtual harddisk
2. stop elasticsearch service in the node
3. enlarge the disk in OS level
4. start the elsticsearch service in the node  
.......

Thanks!
