xfs_growfs, lvm, and sparcs....

[Tod Detre <tod@tod.net>]

I've been using xfs on linux lvm for quite a while now without any 
problems on both i386 and alpha systems. I've recently install this on 
a sparcstation I want to use as a file server and didn't run into any 
problems until I tried to grow a filesystem. when I try xfs_growfs I 
get this error:

xfs_growfs /usr
xfs_growfs: cannot determine geometry of filesystem mounted at /usr: 
Invalid argument

Any ideas on why this is happening or a way around it?

INFO:

xfs kernel from cvs 2.4.20-xfs
