List node

Use the info command to list nodes.

$ kubectl directpv info
┌──────────┬──────────┬───────────┬─────────┬────────┐

├──────────┼──────────┼───────────┼─────────┼────────┤
│ • master │ 512 MiB  │ 32 MiB    │ 2       │ 1      │
│ • node1  │ 512 MiB  │ 32 MiB    │ 2       │ 1      │
└──────────┴──────────┴───────────┴─────────┴────────┘

CAUTION: THIS IS DANGEROUS OPERATION WHICH LEADS TO DATA LOSS

Before removing a node, make sure no volumes or drives on the node are in use. Then, remove the node from DirectPV DaemonSet and run the remove-node.sh script.
