Hello, This is an infrastructure question, it is unrelated to Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch per default will use the data path of `/var/lib/elasticsearch`, this data path is present on your mount point `/`, which has `30 GB`. Adding a new volume will not change this, you need to increase this mount point or move the data to the new mount point. I suggest that you look at StackOverflow on how to do those things as this forum is for question about Elastic Stack. ---
