Hello, is there any xfs_growfs tutorial out there? i can't find it. Manual for xfs_growfs doesnt even says how exactly to use it - if mount point is the only argument, from where xfs takes free space?

It is up to you to create more space on the underlying block device; whether with fdisk, md, lvm, or whatever. Doing so is not an xfs problem, it is a block device / volume manager problem, and beyond the scope of xfs documentation.


When that is done, point xfs_growfs at the now partially-unused, larger, block device, and watch your filesystem grow.

i mean, how exactly it works? lets say i have 3 disks in RAID 5 at /dev/md0 and i connected fourth disk to my box. how should i add it to xfs? (/dev/md0 is xfs of course)

i found complicated solution to use fdisk and play with partition sizes, but its from 2003, maybe something changed?

please CC also to my mail if you don't mind.

Regards
