miss the newly add disk filesystem

[zhjchen]

node exporter does not return filesystem metrics for new added disk.
have to restart the node exporter, then the new added disk filesystem stats/metrics can be collected.

By checking the code, every time, it reads from os.Open(procFilePath("mounts")) to get the mount points. The new add disk is in the mounts file, But node exporter seems ignore it...

Any chance you run the node_exporter in a Docker container and mounted the host filesystem in it?

Oh, right, It is running in docker container.

Please be advised that we don't recommend running the node_exporter in Docker. I'm not sure there is a workaround for that problem.

I'm going to close this. Let's revisite the whole running-in-container story in #66.
