What is the size of your partition?
You are probably requesting a size larger than the partition can handle.
The max size for any XFS file system basic block size 512 rounded down to the
nearest
file system block size in this case (and all case at the moment) 4k.
Simply running xfs_growfs </mntpt> should expand the file system to the max
available
for that partition.
