+
+### Parent database default volume size increased to 15Gi
+
+The default value of `parent.database.volumesize` has been increased from `5Gi` to `15Gi`.
+
+This change better reflects the storage requirements of a Netdata parent node across a wider range of real-world deployments.
+
+**Who is affected**
+
+Only users who rely on the default value — i.e., who have not explicitly set `parent.database.volumesize` in their own `values.yaml` or `--set` flags.
+
+**Potential upgrade failure**
+
+If your cluster's StorageClass does not have `allowVolumeExpansion: true`, `helm upgrade` will fail with an error similar to:
+
+```
+PersistentVolumeClaims "netdata-parent-database" is forbidden: only dynamically provisioned
+pvc can be resized and the storageclass that provisions the pvc must support resize
+```
+
+**How to avoid this**
+
+Pin the volume size to your current value to prevent any resize attempt:
+
+```yaml
+parent:
+  database:
+    volumesize: 5Gi
+```
+
+Or, if you want to expand but your StorageClass does not support automatic expansion, manually resize the PVC before running `helm upgrade`:
+
+```bash
+kubectl patch pvc netdata-parent-database -p '{"spec":{"resources":{"requests":{"storage":"15Gi"}}}}'
+```
+
+Note that manual resizing also requires the StorageClass to support volume expansion. On clusters where expansion is not supported at all, keep the old value pinned in your values.
