error listing disks: %v

Error message

error listing disks: %v

What it means

findGCEDisks wraps the Compute Disks.AggregatedList failure while discovering cluster disks by label across all zones. It fires when the GCE API errors (quota, auth, project misconfiguration), aborting `kops delete cluster` disk discovery for GCE.

Solutions

1. Check GCP credentials and compute.disks.list permission
2. Retry after transient API or quota errors
3. Verify the project and zones are accessible
