Do you setup etcd in multiple nodes? If yes, I think this case might same as this Issue#1755 .
q
@narrow-egg-98197 yes. it's harvester cluster with 6 nodes. one of the nodes is etcd member, one is not. can i just delete the pvc without losing the data? i guess that's my worry is if i delete the pvc, the data would be lost. sounds like that's the work around though.
@narrow-egg-98197 i've looked at that, i cant find anything mounting that pvc. i cant figure out how to "detach it" it's not an option available in the ui. i've shut off one node that was running the instance-manager, and i killed the pod on the other server, and it still wont release.

Is it workable to create backup for this volume then redeploy related workloads, e.g., Longhorn volume, PVC, PV and Pods?
q
with a little guidance, yes. not sure how to back up the pvc, and i just use dd and give it the path of the pvc, and the path of a new pvc that's blank? just like if i were cloning a disk or partition.
also, a harvester team member was also helping w/ this. he said this yesterday, do you maybe know the answer? he hasnt gotten back to me yet. rancher employee [6:13 PM]
