- Run fdisk on the drive
- write down the starting address of the partition you want to expand
- delete the partition you want to expand
- recreate the partition with the same starting address, but make it
larger.
- write the partition table and exit fdisk
- check /proc/partitions to see if the partition size reflects your
change. If the partition is on the same disk as the root partition
you may have to reboot.
- now you can run xfs_growfs and it should recognize the larger
partition.
