title: Kubernetes up storage for a pod
body: <p>My pod <code>jenkins nexus</code> pod has run out of <strong>disk space</strong> and I need to up the persistent volume claim.</p>
  
  <p>I can see the <strong>yaml file</strong> for this in the kubernetes dashboard, however when I try to change it I get - <code>PersistentVolumeClaim "jenkins-x-nexus" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: field is immutable after creation</code></p>
  
  <p>Deleting the pod and quickly trying to update the yaml doesn't work either.</p>
  
  <p>Our version of kubernetes (1.8) doens't have <a href="https://kubernetes-v1-4.github.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_stop/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kubectl stop</a>, so is there a way to stop the replication controller in order to change the yaml?</p>
