Thanks,
Sorry, I am a bit confused on the "data section" vs. the "real-time section"?
Is it enough to just run "xfs_growfs -D XXX /mntpoint" and the rest should
fall into place.
Again, sorry for being dense.
I really appraciate the rapid feedback.
Thanks,
Lance

Well, it's there's a kernel bug when growing by >2T so it's not just a
tools issue...
From what Mark said it sounds like growing 2T at a time is fine.
you can specify sizes on the xfs_growfs commandline, as specified in the
man page.
