Change:
ephemeral-storage: "2Gi" limits: ephemeral-storage: "4Gi" <ins> volumeMounts: - name: ephemeral mountPath: "/tmp" volumes: - name: ephemeral emptyDir: {} </ins> ``` ### How Pods with ephemeral-storage requests are scheduled

Discussion:
Looking at section: Local Ephemeral Storage The example YAML for ephemeral storage does not demonstrate the need for the volume or volume mount, it only shows the resource request form in the YAML as: From reading that documentation it's easy to assume that simply adding the resource request makes that amount of storage available to the containers root filesystem, which is not correct. The ephemeral-storage volume needs to be mounted as with: and But that is not captured in the documentation. At a minimum, the example YAML should include the volume and mount example to clarify this point. Otherwise, people (like me) will unwittingly assume they have 2Gi of space on the container root, which will likely work until a random unlucky day in the future leading to hard to debug issues.
Are you okay to close this now?

I think the best way to express that is to simply add the volume mounts to the example. This example is lacking volume mounts and so it's not clear unless you dig into the text to understand this detail. If you change that example to this it becomes a complete example in which the ephemeral-storage is actually mounted. As-is that example misleads the user to thinking that they have requested 2Gi of ephemerial-storage which is applied to their root filesystem.
