 - From an existing snapshot. When plugin supports `CREATE_DELETE_VOLUME` and `CREATE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT` OPTIONAL capabilities.
 - From an existing volume. When plugin supports cloning, and reports the OPTIONAL capabilities `CREATE_DELETE_VOLUME` and `CLONE_VOLUME`.
 
+If CO requests a volume to be created from existing snapshot or volume and the requested size of the volume is larger than the original snapshotted (or cloned volume), the Plugin can either refuse such a call with `OUT_OF_RANGE` error or MUST provide a volume that, when presented to a workload by `NodePublish` call, has both the requested (larger) size and contains data from the snapshot (or original volume).
+Explicitly, it's the responsibility of the Plugin to resize the filesystem of the newly created volume at (or before) the `NodePublish` call, if the volume has `VolumeCapability` access type `MountVolume` and the filesystem resize is required in order to provision the requested capacity.
