 # 4. Modify /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml

-> Note: You don't really need to update data directory and volumeMounts.mountPath path above. You could simply just update the hostPath.path in the volumes section to point to the new directory. But if you are not working with a kubeadm deployed cluster, then you might have to update the data directory. That's why I left it as is. 
+> Note: as the ETCD pod has changed it will automatically restart, and also kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler. Wait 1-2 to mins for this pods to restart. You can make a `watch "docker ps | grep etcd"` to see when the ETCD pod is restarted.
+
+> Note2: If the etcd pod is not getting `Ready 1/1`, then restart it by `kubectl delete pod -n kube-system etcd-controlplane` and wait 1 minute.
