…rence the resized volume need to be restarted.

Kubernetes v1.11 also introduces an alpha feature called online file system expansion. This feature enables file system expansion while a volume is still in-use by a pod. Because this feature is alpha, it requires enabling the feature gate, ExpandInUsePersistentVolumes. It is supported by the in-tree volume plugins GCE-PD, AWS-EBS, Cinder, and Ceph RBD. When this feature is enabled, pod referencing the resized volume do not need to be restarted. Instead, the file system will automatically be resized while in use as part of volume expansion. File system expansion does not happen until a pod references the resized volume, so if no pods referencing the volume are running file system expansion will not happen.

The DCO needs to be fixed. If the reviewers like the change, we can run CI.

Thank you for the contribution, @huangzhiyong ! Aside from my 1 comment/request, it makes sense to me. I'll let @dctrwatson comment though as he's much more familiar with the operator than I am at this point.

IMO we should make this behavior opt-in because we have no way to know that this will work in a given environment, right? That would mean making the default false. I would recommend:

onlineFileSystemExpansion = flag.Bool("enable_online_fs_expansion", false, "if true, pods referencing the resized volume do not need to be restarted; you must ensure that the CSI driver(s) in use support online resizing, e.g. GCE-PD, AWS-EBS, Cinder, or Ceph RBD")

We can at least wait 2 releases before changing the default

We can move this check to the beginning of reconcileDisk where it checks vts.Spec.UpdateStrategy.Type and just return resultBuilder.Result() because I don't think this function provides any value when using onlineFileSystemExpansion
